ROMERO PAGUAY, José A.    CARBONELL MORALES, Tania. Solar absorption refrigeration system for Kumay community in Ecuador. []. , 35, 3, pp. 286-294. ISSN 1815-5901.

In Ecuador there are many non-electrified remote areas, especially in the province of Pastaza, in this article a solar absorption cooling system is presented as an alternative for the air conditioning of a doctor's office (medical clinic) in Community Kumay. The calculation of the estimated thermal load on the doctor's office is done using the software Carrier E20, which throws a necessity of cooling of 10 kW or 2,84 tons of refrigeration. The solar cooling system consist in an absorption machine of single effect, ClimateWell 10, with 10 kW of cooling power that uses as absorbent the lithium chloride and water pair, this system required an area of reception of solar energy of 30 m² that will be given with 10 vacuum tube collectors Thermomax, Model Solamax 30
