This document reviews various modifications made to vapor absorption refrigeration cycles to improve their performance. It discusses cycles that use an ejector, generator-absorber heat exchanger, booster compressor, or multiple absorption stages. The ejector cycle is found to have a 30% higher COP than a single-effect cycle. Generator-absorber heat exchanger cycles like the hybrid GAX cycle can achieve a COP as high as 0.98. A cycle with a booster compressor between the evaporator and absorber reaches a maximum COP of 0.645. The triple effect cycle demonstrates up to 132% higher COP than a single effect cycle. In general, modified cycles offer benefits like reduced losses, increased performance, and decreased energy consumption
