COP increasing with temperature. However, since the solarcollector efficiency decreases with higher temperature, the optimal operating temperature for thesystem as a whole is not necessarily achieved by using the highest temperature to fire theabsorption chiller. We plan to calculate the optimum operating temperature using TRNSYS andverify the results with long-term performance monitoring of the real system.
