Absorption heat transformers are devices with the unique capability of raising the temperature of part of a low grade heat source whilst simultaneously rejecting the rest of the heat at a lower temperature. The gross temperature lift that could be attained in the process depends on the characteristi

✦ Synopsis
In this work, results from experiments with ternary solutions in an absorption heat transformer are presented. The experiments were performed under controlled conditions using water/lithium chloride/zinc chloride and water/calcium chloride/zinc chloride solutions as working pairs. The results showed that the gross temperature lift is increased with regard to the results obtained using binary solutions because the concentration of the solutions was enhanced. The water/lithium chloride/zinc chloride solution showed a generally better performance than the water/calcium chloride/zinc chloride mixture. The highest gross temperature lift for the former solution was 37•5°C for an absorber temperature of 96°C. This result compared favourably to that previously obtained for water/lithium bromide in the
