Zusammenfassung:A of hybrid refrigeration systems. In one embodiment a low pressure booster circuit (10) is linked to an absorption plant (20) to provide cooling at lower temperatures that can be achieved by the absorption plant (20) alone. The combined systems are efficient compared to vapour compression systems, especially when "waste" heat from other processes is used to drive the absorption part (20) of the circuit. The absorption plantn (20) can be provided with heat either by direct firing of a fuel, by waste heat from a combined heat and power (CHP) prime mover (such as a gas engine (30) or gas turbine for example), or by any suitable source of waste heat from another process.
