The means of using total energy from a gas-turbine engine in various refrigeration systems are reviewed. Combinations of heating and cooling or electric power generation and cooling are discussed as well as combined centrifugal and absorption refrigeration systems. The economics of gas-burning turbine engines are investigated and shown to be attractive in these applications.
