ARTICLE INFO This Energy consumption increases very rapidly as the world developing. The ever increasing energy consumption worldwide makes it urgent to find new ways to use the energy resources in a more efficient and rational way. Solar energy is currently a subject of great interest, and refrigeration is a particularly attractive .Thus, systems that have the ability to harness solar energy, as the absorption devices, present themselves as interesting alternatives in an intelligent energy

... gement. This report describes simple absorption refrigeration system using Li-Br / H 2 O as a working pair. The Li-Br aqueous solution based absorption cycle consists of four stages: generation, condensation, evaporation and absorption with ideally no moving part. The heat input to the absorption system generator is provided by parabolic dish collectors that are coupled to a generator tank. Useful information about the of parabolic dish area, generator and absorber tank volume and efficiency of the overall system is presented. The performance of the system increased with increasing initial temperature of the generator. Results and performance of this system and the effects of the refrigeration load inlet temperature on the coefficient of performance, COP of the system are presented. This project has many possible positive applications from chilled water generation, air conditioning, cooling beverages for sale in remote areas to producing ice for commercial/medical use, with the main goal targeting to achieve the temperature which can be used in different applications.
