The most common form of one type of this device uses water as the working fluid and lithium bromide as a solvent--that device applies a solvent to the working fluid in order to more efficiently compress it, then removes the solvent in a regenerator. That device is the namesake absorption variety, which competes with the vapor-compression cycle type
The most common form of one type of this device uses water as the working fluid and lithium bromide as a solvent--that device applies a solvent to the working fluid in order to more efficiently compress it, then removes the solvent in a regenerator. That device is the namesake absorption variety, which competes with the vapor-compression cycle type, both of which necessarily have smaller coefficients of performance than the Carnot variety of this device. All of those devices have the effect of transferring heat from a low-temperature source to a high-temperature source, thereby causing a cooling effect where a certain region maintains a lower temperature than that of its surroundings. FTP, name this type of household device typically used to keep food cold.
