Description
The technology of absorption systems has not changed much over the last 50 years. Large-scale chillers still follow the basic design layout developed in the 1960s. Smaller systems, in the range below 100 kW capacity, sprout a wider range of designs but have traditionally little significance in the market.
However, there are emerging trends that may change this observation and should encourage new research. There is, for example, the growing consensus that absorption cooling only makes sense from energy-efficiency and cost perspectives when heat is already available, either waste heat from power generation or industrial processes or in the form of heat from solar collectors, if the collectors are... |
