Abstract: A high-efficiency, compound absorption-refrigeration system is considered, which is composed of two cooperating absorption units using NH3/H2O and H2O/LiBr solutions, respectively. The heat output from the NH3/H2O unit is employed to drive the H2O/LiBr unit. The thermodynamics of the new system are simulated by using a procedure which showed that very high theoretical coefficients of performance may be obtained (up to 230%) compared to the corresponding theoretical values for the usual single absorption units, which do not exceed 100%.
