Absorption chiller- design and optimization of generator and condenser

Since absorption chillers are more commodiouse than compression chillers, the usage of them increases these days. In comparison with compression chillers these type of chillers have lower coefficient of performance (COP). By improving the performance of each component of these chillers such as gener...
