ABSTRACT
The generator/absorber heat exchange (GAX) cycle is a very elegant way of achieving higher effect performance with a cycle configuration that essentially appears to be a single-stage configuration. The elegance comes from the conceptual simplicity, and this simplicity makes it attractive as a candidate commercial product. In the absorption community, the term “generator” is frequently used in place of “desorber,” and therefore the abbreviation GAX is widely found in the literature.
