10. Solar Space Cooling • In the chiller, refrigerant vapor from the evaporator is absorbed by a solution mixture in the absorber • This solution is then pumped to the generator • There the refrigerant re-vaporizes using a waste steam heat source .The refrigerant –depleted solution then returns to the absorber via a throttling device.
