Estimation and Trends of the Absorption Refrigeration Global Market

Abstract

This study presents the evolution and economic development of the global market for absorption refrigeration systems. The article reviews trends in demand for high and lowpower absorption refrigeration systems. High growth potential was found in low-power absorption refrigeration systems in the global market. An important finding is that the most widely installed systems in the world are those of single effect and double effect, due to their cost/benefit ratio. It also reviews the relations and trends of companies that manufacture this technology.

Technical and Environmental Evaluation of Using Rice Husks and Solar Energy on the Activation of Absorption Chillers in the Caribbean Region. Case Study: Barranquilla

“…Further research has demonstrated the feasibility of solar-powered absorption cooling systems in shopping malls by means of different working fluids to improve the heat transfer and COP with computational sources, experiments, and tests in commercial facilities (Alhamid et al, 2020;Amaris, 2013;Rodríguez-Toscano et al, 2022a;Zapata et al, 2021). However, there is scarce information available on absorption refrigeration systems installed on the market that involves biomass as another energy source for their activation, along with the use of solar energy (Ayou et al, 2013;Ghafoor & Munir, 2015; A. D. R. Toscano et al, 2021).…”
