  • Patent number: 7827821
    Abstract: To provide a highly efficient and compact absorption refrigerating machine with water heated from 60 to 70 degrees Celsius as the heat source. In an absorption refrigerating machine including a regenerator G, condenser C, an absorber A, an evaporator E, an auxiliary regenerator GX and an auxiliary absorber AX, the concentrated solution from G is heated and further concentrated in GX, while the diluted solution from A is cooled in AX, the refrigerant vapor from GX is absorbed. A low temperature heat exchanger XL is provided for heat exchange between the concentrated solution supplied from GX to A, and the diluted solution sent from AX to G, and a high temperature heat exchanger XH is provided for heating the diluted solution leaving from XL and sent to G with the concentrated solution supplied from G to GX.

  • Patent number: 7827817
    Abstract: An absorption heat pump, including: an evaporator which takes in a first heat source and evaporates refrigerant liquid into refrigerant vapor; an absorber which has a heat receiving medium passage and which takes in heat receiving medium liquid through a heat receiving medium inlet of the heat receiving medium passage, heats the heat receiving medium liquid with the heat of absorption generated when the refrigerant vapor generated in the evaporator is absorbed into solution, and discharges the heat receiving medium in the form of vapor or mixture of vapor and liquid through a heat receiving medium outlet of the heat receiving medium passage; a generator which takes in a second heat source and evaporates the refrigerant from the solution having absorbed the refrigerant vapor; and a condenser which takes in a cooling source and the refrigerant vapor generated in the generator to condense the refrigerant vapor.
