Claim Text:
1. A method of simultaneously obtaining a plurality of cooling-temperature ranges by a solar powered cooling system, the method comprising: directing, by a heliostat field, solar energy to a receiver included in a first portion of the cooling system, the receiver heating molten-salt that flows in the first portion of the cooling system; transferring heat energy from the heated molten salt to a first refrigerant, in a first generator and a second generator, the transferred heat energy forming vapors of the first refrigerant; distributing, by a steam turbine, vapors of the first refrigerant obtained by the first generator, to drive a second portion and a third portion of the cooling system; driving an ejector nozzle included in the second portion of the cooling system by the vapors of the first refrigerant to obtain a first cooling temperature range; compressing a second refrigerant, by a first compressor and a second compressor included in a third portion of the cooling system to obtain a second cooling temperature range; and condensing, by a condenser included in a fourth portion of the cooling system, vapors of the first refrigerant obtained by the second generator, to obtain a third cooling temperature range.
