Summary

An attractive way to directly exploit low-temperature geothermal energy is to produce refrigeration using heat-driven absorption coolers. In Mexico this would contribute to the cold chain in areas of agricultural production and transshipment. An experimental 10.5 kilowatt cooling capacity ammonia-water absorption cooler, that had been evaluated in the Cerro Prieto geothermal field, was modified to use ammonia-lithium nitrate. This prototype was successfully operated with generator temperatures from 90 to 145 deg C and with cold chamber temperatures from 0 to -10 deg C.
