Absorption heat pump attracts increasing attention due to itsadvantages in low grade thermal energy utilization. It can be appliedfor waste heat reuse to save energy consumption, reduce environmentpollution, and bring considerable economic benefit. In this paper,three important aspects for absorption heat pump for waste heat reuseare reviewed. In the first part, different absorption heat pump cyclesare classified and introduced. Absorption heat pumps for heat amplificationand absorption heat transformer for temperature upgrading are included.Both basic single effect cycles and advanced cycles for better performanceare introduced. In the second part, different working pairs, includingthe water based working pairs, ammonia based working pairs, alcoholbased working pairs, and halogenated hydrocarbon based working pairs,for absorption heat pump are classified based on the refrigerant.In the third part, the applications of the absorption heat pump andabsorption heat transformer for waste heat reuse in different industriesare introduced. Based on the reviews in the three aspects, essentialsummary and future perspective are presented at last.
