Cooling machines driven by heat instead of a compressor, including absorption chillers and refrigerators, adsorption refrigeration and the Einstein refrigerator with no moving parts. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes an absorption or adsorption refrigeration system. These machines make cold from heat, using a refrigerant that is absorbed or adsorbed and then driven out again, so they can run from waste heat or solar heat with few or no moving parts. A technology is placed here by the refrigeration process the cited article names.
