Numerous embodiments and related methods for generator-absorber heat exchange (GAX) are disclosed, particularly for absorption heat pump systems. Such embodiments and related methods use, as the heat transfer medium, the working fluid of the absorption system taken from the generator at a location where the working fluid has a rich liquor concentration.

[ What is claimed is:] [36.] A method for transferring heat between an absorber and a generator in a generator-absorber heat exchange apparatus including a generator and an absorber, the absorber having an interior pressure lower than the pressure of the generator interior and each having high and low temperature regions at opposite ends establishing respective temperature ranges, the temperature ranges defining respective overlapping heat transfer regions, and a fluid flow pathway circulating a liquor having rich, intermediate and weak concentrations of refrigerant to and through the high temperature, heat transfer and low temperature regions of the generator and the absorber, said method comprising:circulating a liquor having a rich concentration from the generator between the heat transfer region of the absorber and the heat transfer region of the generator thereby transferring heat from the absorber to the generator.
