Abstract: Provided is a air purge device that can effectively discharge air.

Abstract: This refrigeration machine comprises a compressor that compresses a refrigerant, a condenser that condenses the refrigerant which has been compressed by the compressor, an expander that expands the refrigerant which has been condensed by the condenser, a liquid film type evaporator that evaporates the refrigerant which has been expanded by the expander, and an eductor that generates flow speed difference and pressure difference in the refrigerant which has been expanded by the expander and suctions refrigerant stored in the evaporator.

Abstract: A steam generation apparatus includes: a heat medium flow passage through which a heat medium flows; a primary economizer disposed in the heat medium flow passage; a secondary economizer disposed in the heat medium flow passage at an upstream side of the primary economizer with respect to a flow direction of the heat medium; a primary evaporator disposed in the heat medium flow passage at an upstream side of the secondary economizer with respect to the flow direction of the heat medium; a first flash tank for generating flash steam; a first feed water line configured to supply water heated by the primary economizer to the secondary economizer; and a second feed water line disposed so as to branch from the first feed water line and configured to supply the water heated by the primary economizer to the first flash tank.

Abstract: An evaporator (2) is provided with a casing (5), a refrigerant supply section (7), a first heat transfer pipe group (10), and a second heat transfer pipe group (11). The first heat transfer pipe group (10) is disposed in the lower part of the space in the casing (5) so as to be immersed in the refrigerant and comprises a plurality of heat transfer pipes (12) through which liquid to be cooled flows. The second heat transfer pipe group (11) is provided in the space in the casing (5) at a position below the refrigerant supply section (7) and above the liquid level of the refrigerant, and comprises a plurality of second heat transfer pipes (13) through which liquid to be cooled flows.

Abstract: An evaporator (2) comprising: a casing (5); a plurality of heat transfer tubes (12) which are immersed in a liquid refrigerant (RL) in a liquid-phase region (A1) and in the interior of which a fluid having a higher temperature than that of the liquid refrigerant (RL) flows; and a demister (7) which is provided so as to cover from above the liquid surface (Ls) of the liquid refrigerant (RL) accommodated in the liquid-phase region (A1), and which traps liquid droplets contained in evaporated gas refrigerant (RG). The demister (7) comprises inclined sections (13) which, when viewed in a cross section intersecting the axial line (O2) of the heat transfer tubes (12), separate from the liquid surface (Ls) toward the center portion of the casing (5) along the liquid surface (Ls).
