This paper shows the experimental setup to prove the functions of a newly designed resorption refrigeration system based on NH₃/H₂O. The developed prototype theoretically yields 25 kW of cooling capacity at a temperature of 6 °C by using waste heat at 85 °C. The resorption system is compared a with conventional absorption system at typical operating points. An attached ice storage system is able to retain the cooling capacity. This allows the temporarily decoupling of the cooling demand from the generated thermal capacity. The application of plate heat exchangers together with the low pressure level of the resorption process makes it possible to design compact and cost efficient plants.
