It is important for energy conservation to utilize discharged heat. Because heat sources are not always located near heat demand, transporting heat is required to connect them. The objective of this paper is investigating a novel way of cooling power transportation based on absorption cycle. In contrast with conventional way such as transporting chilled water, this technique circulates absorption solution between the generator located at heat source side and the remote absorber at demand side. Since the system transport thermal energy converted into concentration change, it has some merits of no insulation and smaller diameter of the pipeline compared with conventional one. Experiments of heat transportation were conducted to measure the performance. Especially new technique of condensing heat recovery was examined in order to improve the COP. Experimental results indicate condensing heat recovery gives the same cooling power as the cycle without the recovery while the COP increases slightly.
