Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement for use in a device where a liquid floating on top of another liquid is to be drained to another part of the device, and where these are to be intimately mixed with each other in the form of a vortexinducing structure comprising at least one curved vane located above the exit port of the liquid, the vane extending substantially to the upper level of the liquid system, a lateral inlet being provided along a larger part of the vane structure. Preferably the device comprises a helical vane extending to the top level of the upper liquid, positioned above the outlet port.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved absorption refrigeration device of the type using a lithium halide/water cycle wherein baffles defining a substantial pathway are provided over which superheated concentrated lithium halide solution is passed so as to substantially reduce the degree of superheating of such solution. The invention further relates to a process for reducing substantially the superheating of concentrated lithium halide (lithium bromide and/or lithium chloride) in absorption type refrigeration systems, which comprises contacting the superheated solution with an extensive surface (baffle), thereby reducing the superheating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements in absorption type refrigeration devices of the type using lithium chloride or lithium bromide/water cycle.According to the present invention there is provided an internal partition structure between different functional elements of a machine of this type, comprising two wall sections, separated from each other by an adequate space to provide thermal insulation, said air-space being provided with an opening towards the inside of the container, said opening beind shielded against penetration of liquid (as such or as spray).
