The heat-transfer area demand of the heat-exchange equipments, such as generator, condenser, evaporator, absorber and solution heat exchanger, are computed.

The quality of the waste heat exhausted from diesel engine in vessels is high, which means it is possible to utilize waste heat in an absorption refrigeration device as heat resources.

A numerical analysis of the heat and mass transfer in a heat pipe type falling film absorber was carried out, in which solution absorption and removal of absorption heat happened through heat pipe.
