✦ Synopsis

Absorption heat transformers are devices with the unique capability of raising the temperature of part of a low grade heat source whilst simultaneously delivering the rest of the heat at a lower temperature. The gross temperatue lift attainable in the process depends on the characteristics of the working pair. Many combinations of working fluid/absorbent have been proposed although until now the water/lithium bromide system is the most widely used. Discusses experimental result: for the water/calcium chloride working pair in an absorption heat transformer.
