Abstract

An absorption refrigeration system is adapted to be energized by plural sources of a heating system stored at different temperatures. A control system automatically selects the proper source of supply to the generator in response to the temperatures of the heating medium of the plural sources and to the temperature of heated medium entering the generator. The temperature of heated medium entering the generator is dependent upon the respective temperatures of (1) the cooling water, used to cool the condenser and absorber coils, and (2) the chilled water supplied to the load, vary in response to changing conditions.
