Abstract

A solar-powered ammonia and oxygen production system is disclosed. The system includes an electrolyzer, a PV cell unit, an absorption cooling unit (ACU), a solar parabolic trough collector (PTC), a cryogenic air separation unit (CSU), a cooler, an air compressor, a hydrogen compressor and a nitrogen compressor, an air turbine, and a catalytic converter. The system utilizes these components to co-produce ammonia and oxygen while generating surplus power. The PTC is thermally coupled with the ACU to cool the air coming from the air compressor. The cold air is supplied to the CSU. The nitrogen output from the CSU feeds into the nitrogen compressor, and from there, to the catalytic converter. The hydrogen from the electrolyzer is compressed by the hydrogen compressor, and supplied to the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter further produces ammonia based on the hydrogen and nitrogen received therein.
