Abstract: A generator which can prevent deterioration of the chilling performance and corrosion, and can provide a high degree of reliability and long service life is disclosed. The high-temperature generator comprises a combustion chamber for flowing a combustion gas therein, a first tube assembly and a second tube assembly provided in the combustion chamber each of which has a plurality of heat transfer tubes for containing liquid therein. The first tube assembly comprises a plurality of bare tubes and is arranged at an upstream of the second tube assembly. The second tube assembly comprises a plurality of finned tubes provided with fins on the outer surface thereof. The heat transfer tubes are arranged in a staggered manner in a direction of the combustion gas flow within each of the first tube assembly and the second tube assembly.

Abstract: A high-temperature generator having a high durability and reliability is disclosed. The generator comprises a double shell type furnace body defining a combustion chamber and a liquid chamber surrounding the combustion chamber. A burner is arranged at a front end of the combustion chamber for generating high temperature gas within the combustion chamber. A smoke tube assembly including a plurality of smoke tubes is arranged in the liquid chamber aligned along a longitudinal direction of the furnace body. The rear end of the smoke tube opens to the combustion chamber. A rear wall having a double-wall configuration is provided with an aperture arranged to face the rear end of the smoke tube assembly, and the aperture is covered with a cover plate detachably mounted to the rear wall.

Abstract: The present invention provides a single effect or double effect absorption refrigerating machine comprising an absorber, an evaporator, a generator, a condenser, a heat exchanger, a solution pump and a refrigerant pump and wherein the absorber (A), evaporator (E), generator (G) and condenser (C) are disposed within a single housing in such a manner that the absorber (A) is disposed at a lower portion of the housing, the evaporator (E) is disposed aside and above the absorber (A), the condenser (C) is disposed above the absorber (A), and the generator (G) is disposed above the condenser (C), and further wherein a refrigerant gas passage (2) extending from the evaporator (E) to the absorber (A) and a refrigerant gas passage (1) extending from the generator (G) to the condenser (C) are provided between the evaporator (E) and the generator (G).

Abstract: A centrifugal compressor has a speed increasing gear located between an impeller and a prime mover and driven by the prime mover to increase the impeller speed. The speed increasing gear includes an impeller shaft provided with a pinion and having the impeller attached to the foremost end portion thereof, a casing body having a divided face perpendicular to the shaft, and a bearing unit arranged at the rear end portion of the impeller shaft.

Abstract: A device for collecting lubricating oil in the turbo-refrigerator comprising an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a suction vane arranged in front of the compressor to control the amount of refrigerant gas sucked, a mechanism for returning the lubricating oil, which remains in a space located downstream the suction vane, back to an oil reservoir, and a tube for communicating the space located downstream the suction vane with a space on the evaporation surface of the evaporator.

Abstract: A liquid filled evaporator of the shell and tube type is disclosed which is capable of distributing refrigerant liquid over an overall heat exchanger tube nest to significantly improve the heat exchanging and substantially decreasing the overall dimensions of the evaporator. The evaporator comprises a drum shell formed into substantially a rectangular shape in vertical section and to extend in the lateral direction.

Abstract: A motor cooling apparatus for use with the refrigerator which includes an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor and a main motor adapted to actuate the compressor and connected to the condenser at the internal space thereof. The motor cooling apparatus includes a refrigerant liquid guide passage for guiding refrigerant liquid condensed in the condenser to the internal space of the main motor by means of a refrigerant pump; a first opening formed in the condenser and connected to the internal space of the main motor; and a second opening formed at the bottom of the condenser and connected to the evaporator. The condenser has a reservoir at the bottom thereof to stock the refrigerant liquid. The reservoir is located between the first and second openings in the longitudinal direction of the condenser and connected to the refrigerant liquid guide passage on the suction side of the refrigerant pump. The reservoir may be formed at the same position as where the second opening is formed.
