The objectives of this paper are to develop an advanced GAX cycle named HGAX (Hybrid Generator Absorber heat eXchange) cycle, and to study the effect of key pa-rameters on the cycle performance and the evaporating temperature. Two different HGAX cycles are developed-Type A (Performance improvement) and Type B (Low temperature applications). A compressor is placed between the evaporator and the absorber, and the evaporator pressure and the absorber pressure are controlled according to its application purpose. It was found that the COP could be improved by 24% compared with the conventional GAX cycle and the evaporating temperature as low as -8$0^{\circ}C$ could be obtained from the HGAX cycle.

The objectives of this paper are to develop an advanced GAX cycle named HGAX (Hybrid Generator Absorber heat exchanger) cycle, and to study the effect of key parameters on the cycle performance and the hot-water temperature from the condenser. New types of the HGAX cycle are developed by adding a compressor between the generator and the condenser- Type C (performance improvement and reduction of the generator temperature) and Type D (Hot-water temperature application). The solution temperature in the generator outlet is reduced to 168$^{\circ}C$ with the COP improvement of 19% compared to the standard GAX cycle. The hot-water temperature from the condenser is raised to 106$^{\circ}C$ for panel heating (Ondol heating) application.
