Abstract

During the past decade, there has been unprecedented research interest in vapour-absorption cycle refrigeration and heat pumping driven by the need to reduce CO2 emissions related to process and comfort cooling. This paper reviews some recent innovations in vapour absorption-cycle technology, with particular emphasis on the cycle design and fluid selection. The operation and design of innovative cycles are described as well as the latest research in working fluids.
