This patent describes an absorption refrigeration and heating system in connection with a cooling or heating load and a heat sink or source to selectively provide heat to or remove heat from the load. The process comprises at least one first subsystem for operation at higher temperature and at least one second subsystem for operation at lower temperature relative to the first subsystem; each subsystem having components of absorber means, desorber means, condenser means, and evaporator means operatively connected together; with the desorber means of the first subsystem, the condenser means of the first subsystem, and the desorber means of the second subsystem in sequential heat exchange relationship from a central chamber means in which external heat is applied to the system and is progressively exchanged outwardly through coaxial second and third chamber means.
