Application of an adapted single-/half- effect NH3/H2O absorption chiller in tri-generation and solar cooling systems

The single/half effect chiller shows a good and stable performance over a wide range of operating conditions. It offers an operation up to 45 °C heat rejection temperature and enables the usage of a dry cooler in hot and arid climates. The application for solar- and CHP driven systems are reaching non-renewable primary energy savings of 30-70% at almost equal costs compared to conventional systems.
