Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Absorption systems have a great deal of potential in terms of boosting residual energy and reducing the demand for non-renewable energy sources. Recent studies of single and advanced absorption cycles (closed and open systems, new configurations and heat exchangers, coupling, activation, application, etc.) have significantly reinforced this research field. This Special Issue focused on absorption heat pumps for heating and cooling seeks to publish new knowledge on modeling, simulation, design, optimization, and experiments designed to understand parts of or whole systems, with the final aim being their real-world application.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Absorption heat pumps;
- Mass and heat transfer;
- Solar thermal systems;
- Optimization;
- Artificial intelligence;
- Machine learning;
- Passive and dynamics heat exchangers;
- Absorption heat transformers;
- Automatization and control;
- Solar heat storage systems;
- Application of absorption systems;
- Desorption and condensation;
- Evaporation and absorption;
- Combined cycles;
- Hybrid cycles.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
