Viability of the Application of LiBr Absorption Machines for Air-conditioning on Board of a Ship Using Residual Energy

This paper provides an overview of an energetically and environmentally-friendly refrigeration machine. The heat source used by the absorption machine is hot water, produced by the main engine scavenging air when the ship is sailing, and by the auxiliary engine exhaust gases when the ship is anchored or in port. The use of absorption machines onboard is viable from both economical and technical points of view.
