Abstract
The aim of this research is to study the feasibility of the solar(hot fluid) driven $NH_3/H_2O$ absorption chiller, made by re-manufacturing of Gas fired $NH_3/H_2O$ absorption chiller. This experimental study is performed with the temperature of the inlet hot fluid of generator. In order to determine the inlet temperature of the generator, which gives maximum COP, the experimental data are obtained with various hot fluid supply temperature in range of $130\sim170^{\circ}C$. Remodeled chiller is operated with periodical cooling effect, which due to mixture subcooled pool boiling, then the COP is evaluated in average. The maximum COP$(\sim0.36)$ is at $160^{\circ}C$. The temperature is stable operation temperature range of typical vacuum collector. It offers a feasibility of solar driven $NH_3/H_2O$ absorption chiller.
