Système ou machine à absorption : Système frigorifique dans lequel le fluide frigorigène, s'évaporant lors de la production du froid, est absorbé par une substance (absorbante), liquide ou solide, puis libéré par un apport de chaleur [...] Le processus d'absorption peut être continu ou discontinu. Ainsi, une machine frigorifique dite "à absorption discontinue" est une machine dans laquelle les périodes d'évaporation et de condensation sont alternées. 2, record 2, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20%C3%A0%20absorption%20continue
