Abstract
During the past decade, there has been unprecedented research interest in v apour-absorption cycle refrigeration and heat pumping driven by the need to reduce CO2 emissions related to process and comfort cooling. This paper re views some recent innovations in vapour absorption-cycle technology, with p articular emphasis on the cycle design and fluid selection. The operation a nd design of innovative cycles are described as well as the latest research in working fluids. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
