Abstract

An absorption machine and a method for operating the machine are disclosed. The absorption machine comprises an absorber (1) with heat-exchanger assemblies and a generator (2) with heat-exchanger assemblies, the generator (2) and the absorber (1) being interconnected by two conduits (8, 9). The absorber (1) and/or generator (2) are divided into at least two compartments which are in communication with one another and in which the different heat-exchanger assemblies have separate inlets and outlets. By means of the inventive machine, heating media of different temperatures can be obtained from the absorber (1) and waste heat of different temperatures can be used in the generator (2).
