The thermal energy requirements for air conditioning by compressive and absorption methods were determined for light-water, thermal-breeder, and fast-breeder reactors. The energy required to produce a ton-hour of refrigeration varied from 5100 Btu to 13,100 Btu by absorption and from 5600 to 8800 Btu by compression. The amount of waste heat dissipated to the environment at the reactor site as a consequence of producing a ton-hour of air conditioning ranged from an increase of 21,000 Btu for the electric-motor-driven refrigeration system to a decrease of 6000 Btu for the absorption refrigeration system.

This work presents an experimental study of an ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system using the exhaust of an internal combustion engine as energy source. The exhaust gas energy availability, the performance of the absorption refrigeration system and the engine performance are evaluated. A commercial turbocharged Diesel engine has been tested in a bench test dynamometer, with the absorption refrigeration system adapted to the exhaust system. The maximum COP obtained from the refrigeration system is 0.136 and it has been shown that heat energy available with exhaust gas is capable of producing sufficient cooling capacity for air conditioning the vehicle without requiring any energy input from the engine.
