Abstract This absorption-refrigeration cycle utilises the partial liquid-phase miscibility of some binary mixtures, at elevated temperatures, to separate the refrigerant from the adsorbent. The feasibility of such a cycle is demonstrated by computer simulation of cycle thermodynamic performance using two sets of refrigerant/absorbent pairs. The poor performance of the cycle precludes commercial application of the cycle. However, the feasibility of such a cycle demonstrates that vaporization of the refrigerant is not the only method for the regeneration of a refrigeration in an absorption-refrigeration cycle.
