Abstract
An absorption refrigeration system (ARS), includes a sorbent-refrigerant pair that has an ionic liquid (IL) sorbent and a refrigerant that displays a lower critical lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at a temperature of 50 to 100° C., wherein the separation of the sorbent from the refrigerant occurs upon heating the sorbent-refrigerant pair to a temperature above the LCST. This liquid-liquid phase separation requires significantly less energy to desorb the refrigerant from the sorbent than vapor-liquid phase separation in traditional ABSs.
