There are provided a conduit for transferring a refrigerant to the evaporator , a conduit for transferring an absorbent solution to the regenerator , and a branch conduit . A check valve is provided for communicating the branch conduit to the conduit . A check valve V is provided for allowing the flow from the absorber to the regenerator . The valve and the valve V are communicated at downstream side to each other. Those check valves maybe assembled in a single unit where a valve is arranged of a (free) ball shape and can be shifted by a pressure difference to switches each valve port, acting as a three-way valve. At the start-up or full condensation mode, the check valve remains open while the check valve V is closed. This permits the refrigerant to flow from the condenser via the branch conduit to the regenerator
