Answer
Correct Answer: three-fluid (diffusion) absorption system
Explanation
Concept/ApproachThe Electrolux (Platen–Munters) refrigerator is a three-fluid absorption system: ammonia (refrigerant), water (absorbent), and hydrogen (inert gas to reduce condenser/evaporator partial pressures). The process uses heat as the driving input.
