  • Absorbent pair refrigerant system
    Patent number: 6006543
    Abstract: An absorbent pair refrigeration system comprising a source of liquid refrigerant; an evaporator for transforming the liquid refrigerant into vapor refrigerant at a lower temperature than the liquid refrigerant to thereby provide a desired cooling effect; a volume of absorbent in communication with the evaporator, wherein the vapor refrigerant is absorbed onto the absorbent; an electromagnetic wave generator for desorbing the vapor refrigerant from the sorbent without appreciably heating the absorbent; and a condenser in communication with the absorbent for condensing the vapor refrigerant which has been desorbed from the absorbent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 29, 1998
    Date of Patent: December 28, 1999
    Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    Inventors: Charles M. Byrd, Dennis M. Pfister, Ted W. Warriner
