In implementations with low rate thermal waste or low price of the thermal energy, direct-fired absorption technology plays a decisive role in meeting the requirement of cooling power, especially when traditional compression chiller cannot be used. Direct-fired absorption chillers can be fed with solar energy or with biomass heating, and this opens up to the opportunity to achieve relevant fossil fuels savings and therefore a reduction in the exhaust emissions in the atmosphere. This book provides a state-of-the-art of this sector – from the most simple solutions to those to be tested - starting from a detailed overview of the basic elements and going through the predictive calculation models of the components of the devices. A systemic approach is provided for patents, functional schemes of the devices produced worldwide, specific technical solutions, controls of the thermo-dynamic cycle, operation and maintenance operations, in-depth focus of the several chillers applications. Last chapter outlines the adsorption cooling, theoretically similar to absorbption, but quite different for the implementation of the technology.
