Absorption Cooling

Absorption cooling is a type of cooling technology that uses a heat source to drive a cooling process. It is an efficient and cost-effective way to cool a space or a building, and is often used in industrial and commercial applications. The process works by using a refrigerant, such as ammonia, water, or lithium bromide, which is heated by a heat source such as a gas burner, electric heater, or solar energy. The heat causes the refrigerant to evaporate, which in turn absorbs heat from the air in the space being cooled. This process continues until the desired temperature is reached. Absorption cooling is highly efficient and can be used to cool large spaces with minimal energy consumption. It is also an environmentally friendly cooling option, as it does not require the use of ozone-depleting refrigerants.
