Much thermal energy is produced by combustion of fossil fuels to produce steam and heat for various applications. By utilization of an absorption refrigeration cycle, cooling could be generated from this wasted heat. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature and evaporator pressure ratio on exergy efficiency and exergy destruction in cooling production process. The results showed that the refrigeration capacity increases by increasing the evaporator temperature. The net output of the cycle decreases as the evaporator temperature increases. Therefore, it could be concluded that the produced cycle power is inversely related to the evaporator temperature. By increasing the compressor pressure ratio, at first, the refrigeration capacity increases and then decreases. As the pressure ratio of compressor No. 1 increases, the exergy efficiency of the cycle decreases. This could be explained by the fact that the output work of the cycle decreases by increasing the compressor pressure ratio.
