Abstract
An absorption chiller assembly () includes a low-stage generator () that utilizes heat from vapor resulting from operation of a high-stage generator () and heat from another hot liquid such as coolant fluid associated with a prime mover (). An example low-stage generator () includes an arrangement of conduits for directing flow of the two heat sources through the low-stage generator in a manner that both sources simultaneously interact with a refrigerant solution within the low-stage generator. A disclosed example includes an integrated diverter valve that is preassembled and packaged within an absorption chiller assembly. A disclosed heating mode in one example includes using an absorber () and a condenser () for heating fluid useful for heating operations.
