Abstract: An absorption heat pump and a cogeneration system are provided to have high efficiency of utilizing exhaust heat. An absorption heat pump having an evaporator, an absorber, a high-temperature regenerator, a low-temperature regenerator and a condenser is combined with a fuel cell such that the pump includes a cycle in which vapor exhaust heat from the fuel cell is used as a heat source for the evaporator and the high-temperature regenerator, and another cycle in which warm-water exhaust heat from the fuel cell is used as a heat source for the low-temperature regenerator.

Abstract: First path flow passage is formed so as to lead the absorbent solution in the heat exchanger (7; 107) or the receive pan (24; 118a) disposed below a first path absorption process into a cooling air upper stream side of the first path absorption process through a conduit (30). Subsequent path flow passage is formed so as to lead the absorbent solution in the receive pan (24; 120) disposed below a subsequent path absorption process into the cooling air upper stream side of same path absorption process. The absorbent solution flow amount of each vertical tubes group (10; 158) can be obtained larger irrespective of the absorbent solution circulation flow amount for the refrigeration cycle. The dry portions of the vertical tube (10; 158) caused due to the storage of the absorbent solution circulation flow amount can be prevented.

Abstract: An air cooling type absorbing cooler provided with an air cooling type absorber having a structure in which, in cooling the absorbing solution and the refrigerant vapor by air, the absorbing solution and the refrigerant vapor on the inlet side of the absorber are cooled by the cooling air on the outlet side of the absorber, while the absorbing solution on the outlet side of the absorber is cooled by the cooling air on the outlet side. By causing the absorbing solution sprayed into the absorber to flow downward and the air for cooling the absorbing solution and the refrigerant vapor to flow upward, the absorbing solution having a temperature which is approximately equal to the outlet temperature of the absorber is cooled by the air which has a temperature approximately equal to the inlet temperature of the cooling air. The absorbing solution supplied from the absorber is cooled by the refrigerant vapor evaporated by the evaporator.

Abstract: In a hermetically circulating absorption type refrigerator including a regenerator, a condenser, an evaporator, an absorber and a heat exchanger, the regenerator has an absorbing solution heating tube flux provided between tube plates. The tube plates are encased within a shell of the regenerator. Non-soluble electrodes are arranged between each of the tube plates and the shell. Then, an anti-corrosive current is made to flow through at least one of an end portion of the heating tube, the tube plates and the shell to thereby enhance the anti-corrosion effect together with an anti-corrosive agent or inhibitor.

Abstract: In a hermetically circulating, absorption type refrigerator based on a closed circulation system of constituent members comprised of a successive communication of a regenerator, a condenser, an evaporator, an absorber and a heat exchanger, refrigeration being produced by repetitions of concentration, refrigerant dilution, and heat exchange of an aqueous concentrated lithium bromide solution sealed in the circulation system, the aqueous concentrated lithium bromide solution contains at least one each of (a) an inhibitor having a boiling point higher than the solution temperature in the regenerator and (b) an inhibitor having a boiling point lower than the solution temperature in the regenerator. Corrosion of metallic materials used in a refrigerant circulation loop of the refrigerator and those in the absorbing solution circulation loop can be effectively prevented.

Abstract: A combination of an internal combustion engine and an absorption type refrigeration system is designed to make a simultaneous use of both of the engine exhaust gas the heated engine cooling water. The internal combustion engine and the absorption type refrigeration system are combined such that the exhaust gas is utilized as the heat source for a gaseous refrigerant generator having the highest operating temperature in the system while heated engine cooling water is utilized as the heat source for another generator which operates at a temperature lower than the operating temperature of the first-mentioned generator.
