The work aims to analyse an ejector refrigeration system powered with solar energy through serially connected collectors to lower greenhouse gases. The collectors chosen for the work are Scheffler and parabolic collectors with an area of 2.5 m² and 6 m², respectively. The steam generated by the collectors is stored temporarily in a 15-l storage tank. The thermic fluid transfers heat between the steam storage tank and refrigerant, and thus the generator temperature increases. This design was intended as an alternate for a traditional 3.5 kW room air conditioner with substantially lower energy consumption. This modified system consumed lesser energy input of about 20–30% than conventional air conditioners. Further, for the same specification, the ejector system has consumed less power of about 2.475 kW than the traditional refrigeration system.
