What is 

What is Solar Refrigeration? 

• A thermodynamic collection system

What it is not…

• …Solar Photovoltaic (PV)

Example: Testing in pure like for like environment conditions, in order to reproduce the average energy saved on a standard commercial 9 ton (cooling capacity) refrigeration system using Solar PV technology – it would require an average of between 30 & 40 250w Solar PV panels.

How does ThermX work ?

The facts are, regardless of the compressor in use…

• DC Inverter• Super DC Inverter• Hyper DC Inverter• Staged Compression• Digital Scroll…

…on average 80% of the energy on all systems is consumed by the compressor alone.

Compressor energy consumption

The general engineering make up the system is designed to produce fluctuating loads, subject to the systems requirement.Therefore when the load requirement is low, the compressor will logically run at low speed. 

Subsequently, when the ambient temperature increases and therefore load requirement is high, the system increases its load capacity, therefore substantially increasing the energy consumption of the compressor. 

Inverter systems

The hotter it gets, the harder this system works

The ThermX collector heats up the refrigerant, and boosts by that the cooling capacity

Collector Compressor Condenser

Expansion valve

Evaporator

The collector• Heats up the refrigerant• Refrigerant is gaseous

The ideal gas law applies• p * V = n * R * T• The higher temperature is converted into a higher mass flow in the evaporator, what means higher cooling capacity

• The condenser can due to the increased delta T (refrigerant to ambient tremperature) the heat transfer even better

For more details see our special documentations, how it works

ThermX increases the compressor’s capacity

ThermX increases the capacity of the compresser (variable) by using solar energy.The system’s logic converts that into a lower electrical consumption and  – important !! –by keeping up the original cooling capacity at the same time

The largest fresh bread manufacturer in Malta, boasting a wealth of high profile customers. As with most businesses in the sector, this facility consumes a vast amount of electricity on a number of applications including process cooling, freezing, refrigeration and comfort cooling throughout.

“I have to be honest, I was personally sceptical about the projected abilities of ThermX when first presented to me. However my son was completely the opposite, and convinced talked me with the testing. I am now very pleased he did, as we could have walked away from a fantastic opportunity!” - Chief Engineering Contractor, Golden Harvest

“After retrofitting seven of our sites, they collectively reduced the energy consumption by 36%, therefore they were clearly the right partner for this new build project. So far they are producing results that are in line with their own projections and therefore well in line with our expectations”. Richard Cox, MD
