Claim 3:
4. An absorption refrigerator configured to obtain a cold water by a circulation cycle of a regenerator, a condenser, an evaporator, and an absorber,
the absorption refrigerator comprising:
a plurality of temperature sensors provided in the regenerator, the condenser, the evaporator, and the absorber;
a concentrated solution proportional valve configured to guide a concentrated solution obtained via regeneration in the regenerator to a lower part of the absorber without spraying the concentrated solution from an upper part of the absorber;
an anti-freeze valve configured to mix a diluted solution into a refrigerant sprayed from an upper part of the evaporator;
a storage storing an approximation function by which a second concentration of an absorption liquid is obtained, the approximation function being obtained in advance using a response surface method, based on a mass of data including: a plurality of first detection results obtained by each of the plurality of temperature sensors; and a plurality of first concentrations of the absorption liquid each corresponding to when each of the plurality of first detection results has been obtained;
a calculator configured to apply a plurality of second detection results obtained by each of the plurality of temperature sensors to the approximation function in order to obtain the second concentration of the absorption liquid; and
a controller configured to execute control in accordance with the second concentration obtained by the calculator,

wherein the approximation function is defined as

CS=α1×f(x1)+α2×f(x2)+α3×f(x3)+α4×f(x4)+ . . . αn×f(xn),, where CS is a concentration of absorption, α1 to αn are numerical constants, and f(x1) to f(xn) are functions of the plurality of temperature sensors.
