A waste heat source ( 100 ) is used to heat a high temperature heat transfer fluid which is used to heat an absorption heat transfer machine ( 10 ) having a generator ( 20 ), an absorber ( 30 ), a condenser ( 40 ), and an evaporator ( 50 ) operatively connected together. The high temperature heat transfer fluid can also be used to heat a load ( 190 ) such as a room space or a process. The waste heat source ( 100 ) can also be used to heat an intermediate heat transfer fluid, which can be used to heat a second load ( 175 ) such as a space, a process, or an absorption heat transfer machine. Novel flow control devices ( 70, 60 ) for controlling the flow of weak solution from generator ( 20 ) to absorber ( 30 ) or of refrigerant from condenser ( 40 ) to evaporator ( 50 ), respectively, are also described.
