If we could make the solar ammonia absorption ice maker work continuously as discussed we could also use the same system for air conditioning, but this would also require dehumidification of the air.
Dehumidification could be achieved by using a hygroscopic material to absorb moisture from the air. Then this wet material could be dried by in the sun to be recycled to pick up more moisture from the air in a continuous process and shown below:
The small amount of electrical power required to drive the fans and cycle the hygroscopic material could be provided by a car battery.
Is it possible to maybe shape the inlet that provides the warm air from the right such that there is a natural increase in air speed? doing away with fans.
