In order to compare the performance of electricdriven compression type refrigerating machine and steamdriven lithium bromide absorption machine,defines a modified performance coefficient—equivalent performance coefficient based on the analysis of existing indices for electricdriven compression type refrigerating machines.With an example,analyses the economic benefit of applying lithium bromide absorption refrigerating machine to cogeneration plant.The results show that it can save electricity.
