[Vo]:how common is heat pump / absorption cooling?

[Andre Blum]

Rossi says an optional cooling / air conditioning module can later be 
attached to the e-Cat. Supposedly this is some kind of heat pump / 
absorption cooler. I can understand how that would work, theoretically. 
In real life, however, I have not seen much more of this technology than 
a camping fridge on gas.

Last summer, I moved from Europe to an island in the Caribbean; one of 
the warmer places on Earth. We have a large oil refinery here, and as a 
result liquid petroleum gas is cheap. On the other hand, due to the 
issue of scale (140.000 inhabitants), electricity is insanely expensive, 
say about $1/KWh. Air conditioning is a major component of my high 
electricity bill.

You would say these are ideal circumstances for cooling based on a heat 
source, also when not considering LENR. If not from the sun, through 
(non-PV) collectors, then from LPG. Still, I don't see those anywhere.

So: how practical or common is the idea of cooling a house from a heat 
source like an e-Cat?
