AB  - In this study, a computational routine using MATLAB based on the exergy method is developed to
determine the exergy loss of LiBr-H O absorption system for cooling that was designed to cool a small building 2
located in University Kebangsaan Malaysia. The performance parameters of the system including the
coefficient of performance, the Carnot coefficient of performance, the exergetic efficiency and the efficiency ratio
are computed at different operating temperatures. The effects of the main operating conditions on the
performance parameters and the non-dimensional exergy loss of the whole system are presented. The results
showed that the biggest part exergy losses in the system are in the solar collector and the absorber, regardless
of operating conditions. The sum of the exergy losses of these two components is 54%, there by indicating that
the designs for the collector and absorber are the most important components of the cycle.
