[EnergyPlus_Support] solar powered intermittent absorption refrigeration unit

["Ashfaque Ahmed Chowdhury" <ashfaque@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I would like to model a solar powered intermittent absorption 
refrigeration unit to justify the feasibility of the unit on solar 
power.Is there any way so that I can connect the absorption 
refrigeration unit directly with the solar collectors in EP? 

Warmest regards,
Ashfaque
