ABSTRACT
Cold chain management in milk collection chain is an important aspect to ensure delivery of milk in good quality to the consumer in developing countries like India. It becomes important to collect every drop of milk and handle it in a scientific manner. This paper deals with the design of a milk chilling system based on low grade energy such as solar energy. A 10 TR vapour absorption system was designed for running at solar energy only. It was calculated that total energy required is about 43.768kW to run the system and the same was to supply through hot water generated using the solar energy. Coefficient of performance of the designed system is 0.804.
Key words :
Chilling, Milk, Solar energy, Thermodynamics, Vapour absorption.
