    摘要: This invention relates to an airconditioning system which uses a plurality of absorption chiller-cells, for refrigerating an antifreeze fluid that is circulated through fan-coil units of an airconditioning system. The anti-freeze fluid passes through refrigerant evaporators in each cell structure in a consecutive order for lowering the temperature of the antifreeze fluid gradually. More particularly, it relates to an absorption chiller-cell system having a plurality of evaporators employing multi-refrigerant circulation circuits in an absorption cycle to produce sufficient refrigerant for the airconditioning system. The invention enables the physical size of the system to be relatively small, so that the system can replace conventional electric airconditioning units for home applications. In further aspects, this invention provides an airconditioning system which includes a plurality of absorption chiller-cells that produce various kinds of capacity of the system by combining more or less numbers of chiller-cells, the invention provides also an easier and simpler solution for maintenance or replacement of chiller-cells.
