Population growth in hot and arid regions in addition to global warming would lead to increase for cooling demand in near future. Corresponding to energy consuming nature of cooling processes, and consequently emissions of greenhouse gases, it is crucial to use clean energy technologies for cooling purposes. Absorption chiller is one of the cooling technologies with ability of producing cooling by using medium or low-temperature heat sources. Employment of absorption chillers for cooling production can lead to electricity saving and reduction of pollutants emissions. These technologies could be cost effective options for cooling of large-scale buildings and district cooling systems. In order to make these systems more environmentally benign, renewable energy technologies can be coupled with these systems. It is possible to apply thermal energy extracted from geothermal energy source instead of combustion of fossil fuels as absorption chillers heat source to have cleaner technologies.
