Abstract: A method for generating electricity and cold and a device for realizing same, consists in a closed absorption cycle in which a working body is a mixture of a low-boiling (refrigerant) component and a high-boiling (absorbent) component. The method involves evaporating a strong solution in a steam generator, thus forming a refrigerant vapor and a weak solution, expanding the refrigerant vapor in a turbine, thus producing work, and, after the turbine, absorbing spent vapor in an absorber, forming a strong solution. A distinguishing feature of the method consists in changing the concentration of a strong solution using two stages, including not only evaporation but also filtration. The proposed method and device allow for significantly increasing the efficiency of systems for generating electricity relative to analogous known methods.
