The Ejector refrigeration system can operate using renewable energy such as solar or wasted heat. A mathematical model for an ejector refrigeration system powered by solar energy was developed. The Ejector refrigeration system depends on many factors, such as ejector geometry, NXP, and operating conditions. A flat plate solar collector is designed to predict the heat transfer performance for the whole system, and the primary factors affecting the heat transfer performance. Outlet temperature of 134.95 °C was achieved from the setup of five solar collectors (two square meters each) when the solar irradiance was 985.69 W/m2. The water needs total power of 5016 W to reach this temperature.
