Re: Solar assisted condenser
If i were to quote these two sentences only...
"The hotter the sun shines, the more the solar panel takes over the compressing of the gas and the more power is saved. The compressor acts now mainly as a pump, providing the necessary cycle flow."
Would it be possible this Solar Panel is nothing more than a power source for a high pressure Vapor Pump? If more sunlight were to reduce compressor load, something other than the Condenser would have to reduce head pressure at the point of origin.
Your thoughts fellow Tech's.To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.

Re: Solar assisted condenser
Major misinterpretation in this "technology" is that heat compress the gas. This is wrong. Heat is byproduct of compression. We need compression to condense refrigerant. Heat on discharge side of the cycle will increase load on condenser but compressor load will not change. It is easy to test by installing electrical heater to heat discharge gas.
