N2  - This study is to make an intermittent type absorption solar powered  refrigerator operate automatically by the use of check valves and solve  the problem of heat transfer in the ice box. For this, a solar collector  with 2 m2 area having 22.5 kg of aqua-ammonia solution have been used.  Initial concentration of ammonia in the solution is 46% by weight. The  evaporator coil is submerged in water in the ice box where ice is  non-removable, but cools two adjacent compartments suitable for vaccine  storage.  After several attempts, check valves could not be used because of  corrosion in the 0-Ring seals and ultimately hand valves were used. About  6.5 kg of ice has been produced in one day 1 s regeneration of ammonia. The  amount of ammonia distilled, and hence the production of ice, was limited  by the rather high temperature of the ammonia receiver during generation  period. The overall efficiency (total refrigeration effect divided by the  incident solar energy) of the system was 0.101
