Abstract
This paper describes the development and operation of a rotating double eff ect absorption chiller, which uses an aqueous solution of mixed metal hydro xides as the absorbent. The design principles are outlined including the op eration of the major components and the ways in which the integration of th e processes has been achieved. The operation of the fluid management system is described. Experimental performance data are presented from laboratory testing for the machine operating as a chiller.
