The demand for electric power has been increasing due to the increase in population and the development of the cities. Therefore, there is a need to avoid processes that use large amounts of electric power. Ammonia-water absorption systems run by replacing the electric compressor by a thermal-driven unit, for cooling or refrigeration. In this study, Beirut weather conditions are used to estimate the required heat input available from a 42 m 2  parabolic trough concentrating solar collector system that supplies heat to an ammonia refrigeration cycle. The highest COP attained was 0.65 at an evaporator temperature of −5°C. The required storage tank volume was found to be 2.6 m 3  at the maximum available energy in July. The absorption system is seen to be capable of operating all day and night using solar energy in June and July.
