In this paper a computer package for the design and optimization of the simple Li-Br absorption air conditioning system, operated by solar energy, is developed in order to study its performance. This was necessary, as a first step, before carrying out any computations regarding the dual system (1-3). The computer package has the facilities of examining any parameter which may control the system; namely generator, evaporator, condenser, absorber temperatures and pumping factor. The output may be tabulated and also fed to the graph plotter. The flow chart of the programme is explained in an easy way and a typical example is included.
