AIR CONDITIONING OF VEHICLES USING THE ABSORPTION CYCLE

The aim of this project is to study air conditioning of vehicles using absorption cycle. We discussed briefly the current system used: vapor compression system. Then, we studied the potential of using exhaust gases as a heat input to the absorption machine and if it‘s sufficient to produce the cooling load demanded. Moreover, an economical study is estimated, the initial cost of the machine, the economy per season and the fuel’s price, in different countries, is calculated. As a conclusion, we have drawn a step of this idea and determined how this system is benefiting on environmental and economical sides
