    Hi RSTC

    Good link mate, interesting

    1. the concept - refrigerant based mini absorbtion fridge

    2. they proved that all ammonia tables are wrong ???

    3. they are not that interested in helping all in the world as they claimed - as kept cards close to chest on how it works - just sales hype - wanna make money - cloaked in 'we want to help the world' "if we sell loads we can make them cheap" - make a ruddy fortune he meant

    Ammonia/water absorption systems have been around for a very long time. If they were cheaper to run than electric vapor compression systems, then there would be no electric vapor compression systems... and Servel would be king.

    Absorbers only make sense when there is no electricity available... but lots of camel dung.

    Found normally only good for large installs where there is heat being wasted, so yes with you on that one mate
