Summary

The paper suggests using an absorption system to cool the intake air to the compressor. This system can be powered from the waste heat of the exhaust gases, which attain higher temperatures during the summer. Water-lithium bromide absorption systems are natural choices for taking advantage of the abundant energy available from the exhaust gases. With such systems, the useful power output may be increased by more than 20% during summer without consuming more fuel.
