Absorption chillers have currently become an important device in saving energy because of its effectiveness in utilizing low grade heat. Lithium bromide is widely used as absorbent in this system. But there were few outstanding concentration measurement methods in practice before. In this paper, complete electrical resistivity data of lithium bromide aqueous solution for concentration measurement was given. The electrical resistivity of lithium bromide aqueous solution was measured at concentrations of 35–70 wt% of lithium bromide and temperatures of 10–100°C. Results of this work can meet the requirement of concentration measurement of lithium bromide in absorption chillers without extracting samples.
