Abstract

The invention pertains to improvements brought to a heating facility which includes an associated absorbing heat pump cycle. The facility is designed for direct thermosiphon heating of the absorption solution to be regenerated upon contact with a panelling (15) which surrounds the combustion chamber (9). The separation of the solution to be regenerated is performed inside a separation column (14) which is connected to a dephlegmator (16) which improves the yield of the separation, the yield of the absorbing cycle and the recovery yield of heat supplied by the burner. Furthermore a heat exchanger (8) enables the operation of the facility with a de-activation of the absorbing cycle. The invention applies especially to central heating and to the heating of hygienic water.
