Workshop: Technologies for solar cooling in tropical climates & guided tour of world´s largest solar cooling System

Solar thermal cooling is a very promising technology for tropical climates like in South East Asia. First systems both with absorption chillers and desiccant systems were realized in Singapore, among them the world’s biggest solar thermal cooling system at the Tampines Campus of United World College of South East Asia.

This event is followed by four other events on solar cooling in cooperation with the international energy agency’s solar heating and cooling programme. After the workshop in Singapore, there will be an expert meeting, a training course, a site visit tour and a conference in the week after in Australia.

Main topics of the Singapore workshop:

• Absorption chilling
• Desiccant technologies
• Heat rejection
• Economics, financing
