Problem : Heat-actuated cooling minimizes the need for electricity by using waste heat such as car-engine exhaust. Economic success of this concept depends on development of more compact lighter-weight components. Invention: One important component is the desorber to separate two fluids in an absorption-cycle heat-actuated cooling scheme. The droplet concept significantly reduces the size and weight of the desorber. This invention leads to the technical feasibility of a new generation of heat-actuated cooling devices using one-hundredth of the electric power required to operate a similar mechanical compressor.
