In this paper, a thermodynamic analysis of single effect vapor absorption refrigeration system (VARS) is carried out. LiBr-Water is used as working fluid during the analysis. This analysis is carried out to study the effect of operating conditions on the performance of vapour absorption refrigeration system. The generator temperature, the condenser temperature and the evaporator temperature are taken as operating conditions for the analysis. From the result and discussion, it is found that the coefficient of performance (COP) of the system increases with increasing the generator and evaporator temperature up to a certain limit but decreases with increasing the condenser temperature.
