thermally driven refrigeration systems

Thermally driven refrigeration systems use heat energy instead of electricity to produce cooling. They operate by transferring heat from the space to be cooled to a separate heat source, often utilizing a cycle involving absorption or adsorption processes with special fluids. These systems are efficient when waste heat or renewable thermal energy is available, making them suitable for applications like industrial processes or remote locations. Essentially, they convert thermal energy into cooling power, providing an alternative to traditional electric-powered refrigerators, with benefits including potential energy savings and reduced electrical dependency.
