A particular type of heat pump which exploits the latent heat of vaporization of a working fluid to transport heat from a low temperature source to a high temperature sink. Compression of the working fluid is achieved by absorption in a liquid or solid. This type of heat pump is used for gas powered refrigerators and for solar cooling. 1, record 3, English, - absorption%20cycle%20heat%20pump

In the refrigeration cycle a substance, called the refrigerant, is compressed, cooled, and then expanded. In expanding, the refrigerant absorbs heat from its surroundings to provide refrigeration. After the refrigerant absorbs heat from such a source, the cycle is repeated. 3, record 4, English, - refrigeration%20cycle
