Abstract
In refrigeration systems wherein the refrigerant compressor is driven by a prime mover powered by combustion of a fluid fuel, a notable saving in fuel consumption is achieved by utilizing waste heat in the hot exhaust gases from the prime mover in an absorption refrigeration unit that chills a coolant stream circulated to the condenser for the compressed refrigerant. Existing combustion-powered refrigeration systems can be improved by adding a lithium halide absorption unit to utilize heat in the exhaust gases to produce refrigeration that is used to condense the compressed refrigerant. A combustion turbine coupled to a centrifugal compressor is a preferred combination of prime mover and refrigerant compressor for economically producing tonnage refrigeration.
