It is constantly heated, releases water vapor, becomes a concentrated solution, and is sent to absorber D. At this time, the released steam exchanges heat with the heat exchanger E in the condenser B, is returned to water, and is sent to the evaporator C. The evaporator C is kept at a low pressure, so that the water is vaporized in the heat exchanger E1 and takes heat of vaporization. A cooling capacity is generated in the heat exchanger E1. And vaporized water (water vapor)
Is absorbed in concentrated solution of lithium bromide in absorber D. Then, the diluted solution of lithium bromide that has absorbed water is heat-exchanged with the concentrated solution sent to the absorber D by the heat exchanger E5 to increase the efficiency, and then sent to the regenerator A again.
