The solar cooling systems were rarely constructed in use for many technology reasons. In this paper, the most representative live types of the solar cooling tube (SCT) are introduced and summarized. The experimental results show that: Using zeolite-water as the working pair, the COP value of the first generation, second generation, the third generation, and fourth generation SCT were 0.094, 0.24-0.28, 0.23-0.24, and 0.230.25, respectively. The fifth generation freeze-proof SCT´s cooling capacity is 87-99 kj and the COP is more than 0.11 when the evaporation temperature was about -4??C. The SCT combined with building can supply cooling mass by 27 MJ and the COP is about 0.15. After an introduction of basic principles of SCT, the development history, recent progress and applications of SCT are presented. The application areas that SCT are attractive alternatives that not only can serve the needs for air-conditioning, but also can meet demand for energy conservation and environment protection.
