Abstract: In the current context of the energy transition and the fight against climate change, the need to reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions has driven the development of new strategies for generating, distributing, and efficiently using energy. One of the sectors with the most tremendous potential for improvement is the space heating and cooling in buildings. This thesis studies the performance of a Carrier absorption chiller, calculating performance values and indicators such as heat rates exchanged in the main components, thermal COP and exergy COP. It also aims to describe the installation and technologies used at the Córdoba demonstration site to produce renewable cooling for the absorption chiller.
