Abstract—The paper analyses configuration of combined refrigeration system consisting of a compression chiller and an absorption chiller that is driven by a micro turbine to generate cooling at low temperatures. The compression chiller is operated directly by the micro turbine at the low temperature stage and the waste heat from the micro turbine is used to drive the absorption chiller that operates at the high temperature stage and helps to the compression chiller performance. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the use of this configuration of integrated refrigeration system is more efficient and less energy consuming than the system without absorption chiller.
