Abstract: The absorption cooling/heating system is an old technology that has been relegated by the more efficient mechanical vapour compression systems. However, if they were driven by residual heat or solar thermal energy, advanced absorption technologies for cooling or heating could supply current demand and have a much lesser impact on the environment. With the cost of electricity rising and the climate change more and more in evidence, it would be a positive move towards energy saving.
