Experiments were carried out on the absorption and evaporation performance of an NH
3
-H
2
O-LiBr absorption chiller with a refrigerating capacity of 1.5 kW. Twenty groups of solutions were tested in the experiment with different NH
3
concentration of 50%
55% and 60% and the LiBr concentration from 0 to 50%. The results show that the absorption pressure would not consistently decrease with an increase in LiBr in the solution. When the LiBr concentration reached an inflexion value
the absorption pressure would rise
leading to the deterioration of the absorption process
and the LiBr inflexion value wo
uld decrease with an increase in NH
3
concentration. Moreover
the evaporation pressure would rise at first and then decline with an increase in LiBr concentration when the NH
3
concentration in the generator and the temperature in the evaporator were unchanged during the process. In addition
the COP would increase at first and then decrease with an increase in LiBr concentration at certain NH
3
concentration in the generator. The maximum COP of the system with the NH
3
concentration of 60% and the LiBr concentration of 30% was 0.402
30.94% higher than that of an NH
