  • Patent number: 4520634
    Abstract: A triple-stage absorption refrigeration system including three generators. Solution is supplied from absorber directly to each of the three generators in parallel with each other without flowing through any other generator, and cooling medium is made to flow firstly through the condenser and then through the absorber. Due to these features, corrosion of walls of the first generator in which temperature becomes highest can be inhibited.

  • Patent number: 4328679
    Abstract: A capability control apparatus for a cooling system having a direct expansion type evaporator comprises a control valve mounted in a heating system for a generator for controlling an amount of heat to be given to the generator. Temperature sensors are mounted at inlet and outlet sides, respectively, of a cooling system for an absorber, and an arithmetic unit is connected to the temperature sensors and the control valve. The arithmetic unit calculates the amount of heat to be given to the generator based on signals transmitted from the temperature sensors to the unit and issues and transmits to the control valve a control signal for controlling the latter.
