Types Absorption Systems
Absorption systems are based on a combination of substances that have an unusual property: One substance absorbs another, without any chemical action to occur. It will absorb other substances, when the weather is cold and release it when heated. If the substance is a solid, a process sometimes called adsorption. If the substance is a liquid, when the process is called absorption.
There are two types of absorption refrigerators. One uses solid adsorbent material. The other uses a liquid absorbent. Absorption systems are further classified as:
- Intermittent systems.
- Continuous systems.

- Domestic.
- Recreational vehicles.
- Hotel rooms.
- Industrial.
- Air conditioning.
Absorption systems are also identified a source of heat:
- Kerosene.
- Natural gas.
- Steam.
- Electric heat.
- Solar energy.
Some absorption units used in the family trailers and mobile homes can be electrically heated. Others may use LP gas as fuel...
