Difference between Vapour absorption refrigeration system and vapour compression refrigeration system

Difference between Vapour absorption refrigeration system and vapour compression refrigeration system:

Vapour Absorption refrigeration system:


  • Vapour absorption refrigeration system has less maintenance.
  • It has less wear comparatively than compression refrigeration system.
  • It produces low sounds at the time of operation.
  • This type of refrigeration system has small motors than the compression type.
  • In vapour absorption refrigeration system has no moving parts in it.
  • Vapour absorption refrigeration system is operated under designed COP.
  • This type of system the capacity is not decreased when there is even decreases in pressure, because it can be controlled.
  • The performance of the vapour absorption system has no changes even there is any variation in load.
  • This type of system is used for large capacity works.

Vapour Compression Refrigeration System:


  • This type of refrigeration system required more maintenance.
  • It is subjected to more wear than the absorption refrigeration system.
  • This type of system generates more noise at the time of operation.
  • Compression refrigerator has large motor than absorption system.
  • This type of system has no constant COP to operate it varies according to the evaporator conditions.
  • The capacity is decreased in this system when the pressure of the evaporator decreased.
  • The performance is not stable and poor at the time of variation in load.
  • Vapour absorption refrigeration system is used for less capacity works.
