     This paper presents the modeling of a solar-powered, absorption cooling system using an evacuated tube collector and water-Lithium bromide (LiBr-H2O) solution. As solar processes are inevitable transient in their operation, the energy ratios and temperatures will vary with time and Coefficient of Performance (COP). It is noted that a well modified collector could improve the performance of the system. Therefore a configured solar based LiBr-H2O absorption cycle is suggested after a review made in the selection of collectors. An extensive study on the design procedure of temperature, energy balance and mass conservation is made improving the coefficient of performance analytically.
