Abstract

In this paper, the feasibility of solar adsorption air conditioning system in the region ofBiskra (Algeria) is studied. The main objective is to give a reflection on the current governmentsupport for electricity bills. A comparison between three air conditioning systems was made bytaking into account economic and environmental constraints: classical mono-split system (A),classical centralized air conditioning chiller (B) and solar adsorption system (C). In the context ofthe current government support for electricity bills, results show that system A is actually thebest choice from the total investment costs, electrical consumption and maintenance point ofview. This is observed even with the gain of the electrical consumption obtained in the case ofsolar adsorption air conditioner (C). From an environmental point of view, the system (C) is moreadvantageous than the classical systems (A) & (B) especially for its use of the solar energy, its lowelectrical consumption, low CO2 emissions and low heat rejected to the outside. It can beconcluded that the current state policy do not encourage the transition to the use of airconditioning systems operate by renewable energies. Thus, the redirection of the current supportfor electricity bills to the support of the investment cost of the solar adsorption air conditioner(C) will make it more competitive in the Algerian market. In this case, system (C) can replace, inthe long-term, the system (A) used actually.
