Abstract: The absorption system is one of the most suitable techniques for utilising solar energy for air-conditioning purposes. Although it uses solar energy directly with minimum conversion, it consumes considerable quantities of water for the cooling tower. This is a serious disadvantage where solar energy is available whilst water is scarce. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the lithium bromide (Li---Br) absorption cycle which avoids the use of a wet cooling tower. The characteristics of this dual cycle will be examined and new selection criteria for such solar-powered dual absorption systems will be introduced.
