This study examines thermal storage medium as well as system design alternatives for solar cooling applications. The study is focused on solar cooling applications with heat inputs ranging from 60 to 250 degrees Celsius. High temperature (4100 1C) high efficiency cooling applications are given special consideration, which have been mainly neglected in previous evaluations. The applicability of sensible and latent heat storage materials for double effect and triple effect chillers has been tabulated. It has been given an overview of system designs for water storage (sensible heat) and phase change material storage (latent heat). The article covers the literature on solar thermal air-conditioning systems from both a material and a plant perspective. This involves assessing different management methods for controlling the thermal storage that assist in the efficient operation of a solar air conditioning system. The numerous modeling methods for sizing the solar thermal store are discussed, emphasizing the significant differences in particular storage size when used in various applications.
