Abstract:
Air-conditioning, refrigeration and electricity are useful forms of energy products, usually produced
using separate energy conversion technologies. Further, most end-users need at least dual energy
products: typical example could be building's applications where space air-conditioning and electricity
for various purposes are in need. Therefore the combined production of power and cooling using
efficient thermally-driven systems is one of the suitable technological solutions. This study presents a
brief review of some combined absorption power and cooling cycles and expander technology. The
performance indicators used to evaluate combined power and cooling cycles have also been discused
