A distinction of the environment and energy effects of LiBr/H2O single effect absorption refrigeration with vapor compression refrigeration in textile factories in Vietnam

Electricity and energy consumption and CO 2 emissions are most concentrated in the industrial sector, especially industries such as steel production, cement, textiles... The amount of waste heat from these factories is very large. However, it can be fully utilized to provide heat, cooling or produce electricity for the factories themselves. In Vietnam, absorption refrigeration technology is a potential alternative to vapor compression refrigeration technology. The article mainly studies the power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the heat and refrigeration systems of Vietnamese textile and garment factories when using absorption refrigeration and vapor compression refrigeration. The results show the potential to save energy and reduce CO 2 emissions when using absorption refrigeration.
