PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small-sized, low-cost absorption chilled or hot-water machine by reducing the capacity of a solution tank. SOLUTION: This absorption chilled or hot-water machine comprises an evaporator 10, an absorber 20, and regenerators 30 and 40. Solution fed from the regenerators 30 and 40 is sprayed in the absorber 20, refrigerant vapor evaporated by the evaporator 10 is absorbed by the solution, the solution absorbing the refrigerant vapor is temporarily held in the solution tank 23, and the level of the solution in the solution tank 23 is varied by variations in cooling water temperature and cooling water load. A bypass pipe 25 branched to the solution tank 23 is installed in a solution pipe 24 for feeding the solution from the regenerators 30 and 40 to the absorber 20, and a flow control means 26 for varying the flow of the solution according to the amount of the solution in the solution tank 23 in cooling operation is installed in the bypass pipe 25.
