Sumario:Solar cooling systems, specifically solar absorption cooling systems, are becoming an attractive subject since they are great alternatives to the conventional cooling systems which lead to high electrical consumption. In addition, this system can provide cooling without greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, many combinations of different components might be adopted to apply the solar absorption cooling system. This paper will discuss the absorption chiller working cycle, the absorption chiller working fluids, the solar collectors to be combined with solar cooling systems and the single-effect absorption chiller. Furthermore, the variation of the coefficient of performance, the solar fraction and the economic study will be discussed. The goal of this review is to present previous studies and analyze their results; highlight the environmental, energetic, and economic viability of such systems and tackle future challenges regarding solar absorption cooling system and discuss the application of this system on new climates and more specifically on Lebanon.
