Abstract :
A Nnao adsorption solar power cooling generator unit is design, built, and operated under the climate of Mutah University. The adsorption solar power consists of the generator, condenser, vacuum pump, and evaporator (cold chamber). The activated carbon methanol is set as adsorption pair. The thermal impact of the modified paints on the collector performance by adding certain nano-materials to the dull carbon black paint was investigated The selective absorber plate in the generator was painted with selective nano technology coating to improve the absorptance of the collector. The refrigeration unit was manufacturing form simply non polluted material. The unit was successfully and continuously operated for several hours. An experimental data base bank was achieved. The temperature and pressure of each component of the pilot nano adsorption solar cooling generator unit were recorded. The inside temperature of colder chamber was reached 8 °C, cold air was produced.
