Abstract: The objective of project is to use vapour absorption system instead of vapour compression system. In this project is to reduce the fuel consumption by using of exhaust gas waste heat. This work presents an experimental study refrigeration system, using vapour absorption system. This system uses the exhaust waste heat of an internal combustion engine as energy source. The system was found to be applicable and ready to produce the required conditioning effect without any additional load to the engine. The proposed system decreases vehicle operating costs and environmental pollution caused by the heating system as well as causing a lower global warming.

Keywords: Waste heat, Refrigeration, Vapour absorption system and Internal Combustion Engine
