“Absorption Heat Pumps
Absorption heat pumps, also called gas-fired heat pumps, use heat or thermal energy as their energy source.
They are different from compression heat pumps that are driven by mechanical energy and can be driven with a wide variety of heat sources such as combustion of natural gas, steam solar-heated water, air or geothermal-heated water.
Absorption heat pumps are more complex and require larger units compared to compression heat pumps. The lower electricity demand of such heat pumps is related to the liquid pumping only.”
I also read that this type of heat pump uses and ammonia-water mix in some way
