Performance Evaluation of a Small Scale Ammonia-Water Absorption Cooling System for Off-Grid Rural Homes: A Numerical and Experimental Study

Mai Bani Younes, Yousef Altork, Nabeel Abu Shaban · 2024 · International Journal of Heat and Technology

Summary. Researchers tested a small-scale ammonia-water absorption cooling system designed for rural homes without reliable electricity. They evaluated two configurations using solar energy sources and found that higher evaporator and generator temperatures improved performance. The system achieved a coefficient of performance of 0.63 under optimal conditions, with efficiency gains of 7-7.5% when adding a heat exchanger. The results demonstrate this technology's viability for off-grid cooling in electricity-challenged areas.
