Summary

The utilization of waste heat, on the one hand, and solar heat, on the other, in order to energize sorption chillers is an important issue for increasing the energy efficiency of cooling machines. Especially in the air-conditioning business, a tight correlation often exists between insolation and cooling requirements. Therefore, the interest in solar cooling by sorption systems has prevailed for several decades. Some hundred systems have been installed all over the world and operate satisfactorily. However, no really cost-competitive system for widespread application exists. A step forward can only be expected by innovative design of the collectors, chillers, or both.
