  • Patent number: 5673566
    Abstract: This invention relates to a pump and refrigeration system including an evaporator from which refrigerant vapor is withdrawn by an absorber and absorbent is recharged by a generator. Further, a condenser is provided between the generator and the evaporator so that refrigerant vapor from the generator can be condensed prior to being returned to the evaporator. In addition, the system is provided with an ejector which is positioned downstream of the evaporator so as to withdraw refrigerant vapor from same and upstream of the condenser so that said withdrawn refrigerant vapor passes through the ejector to the condenser. Thus, in the system of the invention, both an absorber and ejector withdraw refrigerant vapor from the evaporator, thus enhancing the efficiency of the system and further refrigerant vapor passing through the ejector is delivered directly to a condenser, thus reducing the burden of the absorber.
