Summary

In absorption refrigeration machines, which are a genuine alternative to the traditional compression refrigeration machines, cold is generated basically by the application of thermal energy. The use of district heat in absorption plants for air conditioning furthers the sale of heat predominantly in summer months and thus contributes to a better network utilization. The guaranteed minimum outflow temperature of Dresden's district heating network is adequate for the efficient operation of single-stage absorption refrigeration machines. As a result of an acute problem, Dresden's district heating utility worked with the Chemnitz engineering consultants Löwe on a survey which compares absorption units operated by district heat with those operated by natural gas.
