- Abstract
- In this investigation, an absorption water chiller and an absorption heat pump were extensively tested under steady-state and cyclic operating conditions. Since the tests were performed on two different units, one for a cooling only and one for a heating only application, the report is set up in two parts discussing the results of the testing of each unit separately.
