One exemplary embodiment of this invention provides a single-effect absorption chiller including an absorber operatively connected to a solution heat exchanger and a generator, and a condenser in fluid communication with the absorber, wherein the absorber is sized and configured to receive a feed of water from a source of water and to transfer heat to the feed of water and then to convey the feed of water to the condenser without further heat conditioning of the feed of water prior to its entry into the condenser, and wherein the condenser is sized and configured to receive the feed of water from the absorber and to transfer heat to the feed of water, thereby cooling the condenser without resorting to an external heat exchanger such as a conventional cooling tower.

1. A multiple-effect absorption chiller system, comprising: an absorber operatively connected to a solution heat exchanger and a generator,an initial condenser in fluid communication with the absorber, anda heat exchanger component of a terminal generator,wherein the absorber is sized and configured to receive a feed of water from a source of water and to transfer heat to the feed of water and then to convey the feed of water to the initial condenser without further heat conditioning of the feed of water prior to its entry into the initial condenser, and wherein the initial condenser is sized and configured to receive the feed of water from the absorber and to transfer heat to the feed of water, thereby cooling the initial condenser; and wherein the heat exchanger component of the terminal generator is sized and configured to receive the feed of water from the initial condenser and to transfer heat to the feed of water from an external heat source. 2. A multiple-effect absorption chiller system, comprising: an absorber operatively connected to a solution heat exchanger and a generator, anda condenser operatively connected to a heat exchanger component of a terminal generator, wherein the condenser is sized and configured to receive a feed of water from a source of water that has not been intentionally heat conditioned and to transfer heat to the feed of water and then to convey the feed of water to the heat exchanger component of the generator, the heat exchanger component of the generator being sized and configured to receive the feed of water and to transfer heat to the feed of water from an external heat source. 3. A system comprising: a combustion engine, a multiple-effect absorption chiller according to claim 2, an engine inlet chiller operatively connected to at least the combustion engine, and a conduit for conveying chilled water from the absorption chiller to the engine inlet chiller, the foregoing being sized and configured so that, during use, waste heat released from the combustion engine powers at least one internal generator of the multiple-effect absorption chiller, which multiple-effect absorption chiller produces chilled water, and the system being sized and configured to circulate at least a portion of the chilled water through the conduit to the engine inlet chiller to cool air entering the combustion engine. 4. A method comprising: a. providing a refrigerant vapor to an absorber in a multiple-effect absorption chiller in which at least i. the refrigerant vapor contacts an incoming condensed absorbent stream from a solution heat exchanger,ii. the refrigerant vapor is absorbed by the condensed absorbent stream to form a liquid diluted solution mixture, andiii. a water stream from a source of water is provided to cool the absorber to make a high affinity between the refrigerant vapor and the condensed absorbent stream during the absorption process in (a)(ii) and to transfer heat to the feed of water;b. providing the water stream from the absorber to an initial condenser so that the water stream absorbs at least a portion of released latent heat from the initial condenser, thereby forming an initial-condenser-heated water stream and cooling the initial condenser; andc. further heating the initial-condenser-heated water stream by feeding it into a terminal generator through a heat exchanger component wherein the initial-condenser-heated water stream absorbs additional heat from energy from an external heat source. 5. The method of claim 4 further comprising: d. providing a second water stream into an evaporator in which a low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant flashes into vapor and absorbs heat from the second water stream, thereby lowering the temperature of the second water stream and forming a chilled water stream. 6. The method of claim 5 further comprising: e. transferring at least a portion of the chilled water stream to an engine inlet chiller operatively connected to a combustion engine, andf. circulating exterior air through the engine inlet chiller.
