“…In the existing literature, different reviews on ejector technologies have been presented [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. All of the previous reviews are focused on a particular aspect or aspects of ejector refrigeration, whereas the goal of the present review is to propose a comprehensive view of all ejector refrigeration technologies and the impact of working fluids on their performance.…”

a b s t r a c tThe increasing need for thermal comfort has led to a rapid increase in the use of cooling systems and, consequently, electricity demand for air-conditioning systems in buildings. Heat-driven ejector refrigeration systems appear to be a promising alternative to the traditional compressor-based refrigeration technologies for energy consumption reduction. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on ejector refrigeration systems and working fluids. It deeply analyzes ejector technology and behavior, refrigerant properties and their influence over ejector performance and all of the ejector refrigeration technologies, with a focus on past, present and future trends. The review is structured in four parts. In the first part, ejector technology is described. In the second part, a detailed description of the refrigerant properties and their influence over ejector performance is presented. In the third part, a review focused on the main jet refrigeration cycles is proposed, and the ejector refrigeration systems are reported and categorized. Finally, an overview over all ejector technologies, the relationship among the working fluids and the ejector performance, with a focus on past, present and future trends, is presented.

“…While this might seem counterintuitive, particularly during summer when heating demand is low, the assumption is supported by the increasing interest in smart and efficient use of energy. Therefore, the exported heat could be used in district cooling -through thermal cooling [48] -and/or in other thermally activated technologies [49], seasonal storage, or to cover domestic hot water demand. Thus, as the energy systems continue to develop, heat export to district grids has potential to become a common practice.…”

“…The simplest absorption cooling cycle needs a desorber (generator), a condenser, an evaporator, an absorber, a solution pump, a working fluid pair and two expansion valves [9]. The fluid pair consists of a refrigerant and an absorbent.…”
