  • Patent number: 5285645
    Abstract: A regenerative type air conditioning equipment in which the available concentration range of a heat accumulating liquid is widened, and the quantity of the heat accumulating liquid to be stored is decreased, so that the size of the equipment is reduced, with the conditioning equipment comprises a concentration difference regeneration device which, at least, cools a medium fed to an air conditioner, using a condensate liquid and a concentrated liquid produced by vaporizing the heat accumulating liquid, and a heat pump device which cools a coolant due to adiabatic expansion. The concentration difference regeneration device includes a container with a chamber for storing the condensate liquid, a spray nozzle which sprays the condensate liquid into the condensate liquid chamber, and an evaporator which vaporizes the sprayed condensate liquid under a low pressure.

  • Patent number: 5018367
    Abstract: A cooling energy generator with a cooling energy accumulator comprises a refrigerant, absorbent liquid, and a container having a first chamber receiving the absorbent liquid, a second chamber receiving the liquid refrigerant and a vapor passage communicating with a space over the absorbent liquid in the first chamber and with a space over the liquid refrigerant in the second chamber. The absorbent liquid is sprayed in the first chamber, and the absorbent liquid is cooled during an accelerated cooling operation. The absorbent liquid is heated during the cooling energy accumulation operation, and liquid refrigerant is sprayed in the second chamber during the accelerated cooling operation and during the normal cooling operation. An air conditioning heat exchanger supplies the cooling energy to a cooling device for air conditioning, and a heat pump is provided.
