An alternative to the use of the traditional lithium‐bromide/water system for absorption cooling is discussed. An experimental study is presented on the use of salt mixtures of lithium‐bromide/zinc‐bromide and lithium‐bromide/lithium‐iodide as absorbents for water. It is shown that the higher solubilities of the ternary systems allows operation at higher absorber and generator temperatures without the risk of crystallization and with low enough evaporator temperatures for practical cooling applications.
