In this study the first and the second laws of thermodynamics are evaluated for a single effect absorption chiller. Entropy generation and COP are selected as the objective functions and their variations are studied by varying the generator temperature for various condensing temperatures. For this purpose, the enthalpy and the entropy data of the super-heated steam, saturated steam and the saturated water are formulated in the mathematical equations. Also to provide the required steam of generator, prime mover in the form of internal combustion engine is applied and its partial load conditions are analyzed. A residential tower is considered as the case study for selecting the proper prime mover capacity. The number of prime movers is estimated based on the required heating power of the generator steam for each partial load. It is seen, the entropy generation would be decreased rapidly by increasing the generator temperature and after a while, the entropy generation would be approximately constant. The optimum entropy generation for each condensing temperature and the generator temperature may be decreased by increasing the evaporator temperature. It is deduced that COP is increased rapidly by increasing the generator temperature but in the following, the COP will be constant. The maximum amount of COP is decreased by increasing the condensing temperature. Also the COP is increased by increasing evaporator temperature for a certain generator and condensing temperatures.
