A review of thermal cooling systems

Abstract In this paper, a review of the performance and development of thermal-powered cooling systems is presented. The review covers the current state of theoretical and experimental studies of absorption, adsorption, desiccants (liquid and solid), ejector-compression and hybrid systems. The bibliographic review was made mainly in international journals although some references were found in congress proceedings from 2003 to date. The review does not intend to be exhaustive but to reflect the most important research published concerning these cooling technologies.
