Masdar has recently installed solar powered absorption chillers to air condition their site offices. The story got me thinking about the potentials for absorption chiller technology and I discovered some articles and research from a couple years back about Einstein’s Refrigerator. It was a collaboration between Einstein and Leo Szilard and was patented in 1930. It could be powered by solar thermal energy, is silent, and has no moving parts. Its design was intended for food storage and it could still be applicable to that for sunny regions without much access to electricity. But similar technology is being perfected for use with air conditioning
