Work Step by Step

Absorption refrigeration is a refrigeration cycle that involves the absorption of the refrigerant by transport medium. The most widely used absorption refrigeration system is the ammonia-water system where ammonia serves as the refrigerant and water serves as transport medium. In absorption refrigeration cycles, the refrigerant is compressed in the liquid phase by using pump instead of vapor cycle where compression is achieved by compressing vapor inside the compressor.
