What is it about?
This research aims to produce 8 kg of ice per day using a solar-powered refrigeration system. The system operates with energy consumption lower than 6 kWh per cubic meter of seawater. The goal is to keep temperatures below - 3 °C for food preservation.

Why is it important?
The work has five main processes: 1) Solar heating phase, 2)Simultaneous desorption and condensation process, 3) Cooling phase, 4) Ice formation, and 5) Desalinated water. Each one has a thermodynamic analysis to be integrated with the work.
Perspectives
This researchs indicates that the purpose for food preservation and low power cooler for personal air conditioner is possible. The cold water would be recicled like as subprocess from ice formation.
