Abstract - This review paper systematically analyzes the state-of-the-art developments, innovations, and applications of multistage vapour absorption refrigeration systems, emphasizing their adaptability to various heat sources. The manuscript navigates through the fundamental principles of vapor absorption refrigeration, highlighting the advantages and drawbacks of single-stage systems. It then delves into the intricacies of multistage systems and their potential to enhance performance and efficiency. Various configurations are explored, offering insights into the key factors influencing system performance.

The core of the review revolves around the compatibility of multistage vapor absorption refrigeration systems with a diverse range of heat sources, including waste heat, solar energy, geothermal sources, and industrial processes.

Furthermore, this review paper addresses the challenges, limitations, and future prospects of multistage vapor absorption refrigeration systems, paving the way for an informed discussion on the advancement of sustainable cooling technologies.
