absorption chilling

Absorption chilling is a cooling process that uses a heat source, like waste heat or solar energy, to drive a refrigeration cycle without electricity. It involves a refrigerant and an absorbent; the refrigerant absorbs heat and vaporizes, then is absorbed by the absorbent. When the mixture is heated again, the refrigerant is released and condensed, creating a cooling effect. This system is energy-efficient and quiet, making it suitable for environments where electricity is limited or where utilizing waste heat adds value. It’s commonly used in large-scale cooling applications, such as in buildings or industrial processes.
