The need to augment our nation's energy resources has recently stimulated those involved in solar energy utilization to reexamine the potential of absorption refrigeration for space cooling. An absorption-cooling system is deemed compatible with the low-grade heat generated by present-day flat-plate collectors (temperatures below 200/sup 0/F) and could increase in significance in the near future, when new collector developments might make practical the efficient generation of temperatures in the range of 250/sup 0/ to 300/sup 0/F. The use of new absorption fluid systems compatible with solar-powered cooling requirements is discussed. In particular, a new refrigerant-absorbent combination is described that can be operated in either the water- or air-cooled mode, retaining all the desirable characteristics of the LiBr--H/sub 2/O system.
