B: HOW A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC REFRIGERATOR WORKS
-
A photovoltaic refrigerator is similar to an ordinary compressor refrigerator
except that the compressor is powered from direct current (d.c) electricity
supplied from a solar array. A photovoltaic refrigerator system compries the
following principal parts:
-
The solar photovoltaic array containing solar cells, which convert sunlight into
direct current (DC) electricity. It has no moving parts and is a highly reliable
component.
-
Batteries, which are used to store electricity for periods when there is no
sunlight.
-
A charge regulator (an electronic unit), which is used to prevent the batteries
from being damaged by too much electricity from the array or from too much
electricity being drawn by refrigerator.
-
A compressor, which sealed unit.
-
A compressor controller which:
•
converts D.C. current electricity provided from the array and/or
batteries into a form which will drive compressor.
•
prevents damage to the compressor if overloaded, and also protects
the batteries against deep discharge.
These parts are connected together to make:
-
A Solar Powered Battery Charger, and
-
A battery powered refrigerator,
which when combined, becomes a refrigerator powered by sunlight, which we call a
solar photovoltaic refrigerator (and can be a Solar Refrigerator, Photovoltaic
Refrigerator or PV Refrigerator).
