Abstract
A water-ammonia absorption refrigeration (AAR) system is preferred to class ical vapour compression when a heat source is available cheaply. This study deals with the analysis of an AAR system operating with a low-temperature heat source. Eleven design variables were chosen for this purpose. The anal ysis showed that the use of a low temperature heat source imposes some rest rictions on the system design, but an economically operating AAR system may be designed by a careful process optimization study.
