AB - The aim of this paper is to review the past achievements in the field of  absorption systems, their potential and possible directions for future  development. Various types of absorption systems and research on working  fluids are discussed in detail. Among various applications, solar cooling and  combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) are identified as two most  promising applications for further development of absorption machines. Under  the same framework, special attention is given to the small capacity  absorption machines and their current status at the market. Although this  technology looks promising, it is still in development and many issues are  open. With respect to that fact, this paper covers all the relevant aspects  for further development of small capacity absorption machines.
