This paper presents an experimental study of energy output and efficiency of solar collectors in a refrigerant ejector refrigeration machine using R113 as the refrigerant. Based on a theoretical study, the oil transformer is used as a working fluid in the solar system. The concentrating collectors show encouraging results for operating the system. The maximum collector efficiency was 20%. The system can be used for both cooling and heating purposes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
