The absorption cycle is a process by which refrigeration effect is produced through the use of two fluids and some quantity of heat input, rather than electrical input as in the more familiar vapor compression cycle. Absorption machines are commercially available today in two basic configurations. For applications above 0.0 C (primarily air conditioning), the cycle uses lithium bromide as the absorbent and water as the refrigerant. For applications below 0.0 C an ammonia/water cycle is employed with ammonia as the refrigerant and water as the absorbent. This article concentrates on the lithium bromide/water cycle, explaining the basic cycle and offering some considerations with regard to geothermal applications. 5 references.
