Tonnage of refrigeration required
Actual cooling load required for telecom shelter:
Solar heat gain + Equipment heat gain
But the solar heat gain is negligible compared to the equipment heat
gain therefore it is neglected.
Due to economic constraints, the cooling load for the telecom shelter
is scaled down to 500W.

Where, 𝐶𝑂𝑃𝑐ℎ is the coefficient of performance of the absorption
chiller which varies with demand is given in a fourth order polynomial
for partial load efficiency of absorption chiller,
