Several authors have developed models to be implemented in building thermal simulation programs for modelling absorption machines. Some anarchy has been detected related to the order of these models and the variables they consist of. In this paper, specific statistical tools were employed to establish regression models for the COP and the capacity of a water-lithium bromide single-effect absorption chiller. Experimental designs were used to obtain the data (values of COP and capacity) utilized to estimate the model parameters. The hypotheses initially adopted in the formulation of the models were modified at the sight of the results of subjecting the values obtained for the response variables to a variance analysis.
