I am IT engineer not a refrigeration expert, pardon my basic question.

Would a NH3 or other absorption cycle work with a generator temperature of say 30C, and condenser temperature of 10C by maintaining correct pressure level.

Most of the technical papers I read on the internet, talk about requirement of 80C+ temperature for generator and 25-30C for condenser. This would make sense if one has access to hot water source like geo thermal, or any other free heat source. But if I have access to low temperature cool water of 10C, and relatively stable heat source of 25C+ (say atmospheric temperature), can a absorption refrigeration system be designed to harvest that energy. One of the main objective is to have very low electrical energy input, so compression system may not work out. The second objective is to have a -3C or lower evaporator temperature to make salty ice and store it, and use it when the cold water source is not available. If at all its possible, what major issues to keep in mind.

I guess even the standard off the shelf absorption systems can be made to use 30C heat, by first passing it through a heat pump to increase that temperature to 80C+. But that additional stage also need lot of electricity.

Any suggestion to effectively harvest this low temperature source would be of great help.
