The advanced absorption technology proposed by authors can be applied for cooling, heating, dehumidifying, combined cooling and heating, and so on. This investigation involved the development of a numerical model for the transient simulation of the double-effect, water-1ithium bromide absorption cooling machine, and the use of the model to determine the effect of the various design and input variables on the absorption unit performance. The sensitivity analysis was also performed. The dynamic model should be valuable as a design tool for developing new absorption machines or modifying current machines to make them optimal based on current and future energy costs.
