Yes, an absorption tank is likely to be required since the requirement is part of the current International Fire Code, which most jurisdictions in Tennessee have adopted. There are some exceptions for the use of a propane flare, or if you are under 22 lbs ammonia, or if a proper environmental study showing that environmental discharge will not result in a fire, health, or environmental hazard is accepted by the fire code official.

If the local jurisdiction has omitted the requirement from their local code (which they have the authority to do), then you are free to discharge into the atmosphere.

For your information, Section 606 of the IFC deals with mechanical refrigeration, and the absorption tank requirement and exceptions are found there.

Why COP is used for evaluation of compression refrigeration system but not absorption refrigeration system?

Coefficient of Performance (COP) is used for evaluating compression refrigeration systems because it reflects the cooling capacity of the system relative to the work input required to operate it. In absorption refrigeration systems, the performance is typically evaluated using the Coefficient of Performance (COP) or the Coefficient of Performance relative to the heat source (COP_Φ) since these systems use heat energy, rather than mechanical work, to operate.
