An absorption refrigerator is a refrigerator that uses a heat source (e.g., solar energy, a fossil-fueled flame, waste heat from factories, or district heating systems) which provides the energy needed to drive the cooling process.
Absorption refrigerators are often used for food storage in recreational vehicles. The principle can also be used to air-condition buildings using the waste heat from a gas turbine or water heater. This use is very efficient, since the gas turbine then produces electricity, hot water, and air-conditioning (called cogeneration/trigeneration). An electrical genertion system that use this absorption refrigerator for envelope electrical energy, heat in winter and cold in summer is called trigeneration system. This model was developed to comment graphically an article on trigeneration systems for the magazineCADZINE in June 2014
The standard for the absorption refrigerator is given by the ANSI/AHRI standard 560-2000.
