absorption refrigeration

Absorption refrigeration is a cooling technology that uses heat instead of electricity to produce a cooling effect. It typically involves a refrigerant (like ammonia) and a secondary fluid (like water). In this system, heat is applied to evaporate the refrigerant, which then absorbs heat from the surrounding area as it cools down. The vapor is then condensed and the process repeats. This method is often used in situations where electricity is limited, such as in RVs or remote locations. Its main advantage is efficiency and the ability to harness waste heat.
