Abstract

This paper report the technical and economic performance of a 35 kW LiBr-H2O absorption machine driven by 72 m2 heat pipe evacuated tube collector with a gas back up system. The technical analysis is given to calculate the Coefficient of Performance (COP) and the Solar Fraction (SOLFthe). The economic analysis is performed using the Specific Life Cycle Cost Analysis (SLCCA) method, which is based on the economic factors applied to Thailand and the sensitivity analysis which varying the COP and SOLFthe. The optimize strategy is proposed to the maximum COP and SOLFthe while the SLCCA is minimum.
