Abstract
An energy efficient absorption refrigeration system is described that is mounted on a highway vehicle, such as a truck, and that is driven by the hot exhaust gases discharged from the engine. Eutectic plates are used as the evaporator section of the refrigeration system. A novel generator-analyzer is mounted between the engine and the muffler of the truck. An efficient absorbent recirculation loop improves the efficiency of this system. Control problems are minimized by incorporating eutectic plate storage systems with the efficient absorbent recirculation loop and compact generator-analyzer. The system is designed for a variety of refrigerant-absorbent combinations.
