| Abstract: | Waste heat can be used for refrigeration purposes by means of either the absorption refrigeration system or the mechanical compression systems driven by a Rankine cycle. If the heating, or the duty, is intermittent the absorption refrigeration system can incorporate the storage of liquid refrigerant and weak solution with thermodynamic and operational advantages. The working principle of such an absorption refrigeration plant with the binary system NH3---H2O are explained and compared with conventional methods. |
