| Summary: | In the present scenario, one of the global issues is energy crisis, and it is found that effective utilisation of low-grade waste heat energy as potential solution to this crisis, which could be easily used with the cogeneration plant. In this work, an attempt is made to implement a mass and heat recovery system with a basic resorption cogeneration unit. Low-grade solar energy is utilised by the expansion machine and ammonia resorption unit, and the plant produces a dual output of cooling effect and electricity. The problem of variation reaction rate is sorted out by introducing a buffer prior to the expansion machine; similarly, the deficiency of chemisorption is overcome by a pair of resorption cycles. Under various operating conditions, six resorption pairs were analysed and it was found that the SrCl
