The bp Chair of Industrial Environment of the Universitat Jaume I has held this Friday, 5 November, the seminar "Applicability of cooling systems activated by solar thermal energy", with the participation of Alberto Ponce Mora, pre-doctoral researcher of the CMT-Thermal Engines research centre of the Universitat Politècnica de València.

Current concerns about the high cost of energy and the environmental impact associated with electricity generation have fuelled interest in developing cooling systems based on clean energies to reduce consumption and energy bills in homes and workplaces.

Due to its high availability, especially in Spain, solar thermal energy has a high potential to be exploited in the production of cooling through thermodynamic cycles activated by heat, which can replace or assist traditional air conditioning systems.

During the seminar, the advantages of these systems were presented, as well as the technological barriers to overcome in order to achieve a massive adoption of these systems.

The main conclusion reached by the experts of the CMT Thermal Engines of the UPV, after studying the feasibility of this type of system, is that "the implementation of solar cooling equipment would achieve energy savings at the operational level compared to conventional cooling systems. However, over the useful life of the product, the lower electricity consumption would not compensate for the high initial investment in equipment," explained Alberto Ponce.

However, researchers also open the door to achieving economically sustainable equipment through integration with solar heating systems or hybridisation with traditional cooling systems.

This seminar, which has had more than 40 people registered, is part of the programme of activities of the bp Chair of Industrial Environment of the UJI for this academic year 2021-2022, and this has been the first activity after the renewal of the agreement on 21 October.
