Direct heat recovery absorption refrigeration system

Abstract

An absorption refrigeration system uses a solution and a refrigerant contained in the solution as working mediums. The system includes (a) a generator for heating the solution to change a portion of the refrigerant into vapor; (b) a condenser communicated with the generator, for condensing refrigerant vapor coming from the generator; (c) a throttling device communicated with the condenser, for throttling condensed refrigerant coming from the condenser; (d) an evaporator communicated with said throttling device, having water circulating therewithin, capable of effecting heat transfer between the refrigerant coming from the throttling device and the circulating water; (e) an absorber communicated with the evaporator, having solution reservoired therewithin, for absorbing refrigerant coming from the evaporator by means of the reservoired solution; and (f) a heat exchanger communicated with the absorber and the generator, for performing indirect heat exchange between solution coming from the generator and solution coming from the absorber, characterized in that a solution mixing device, disposed between the heat exchanger and the generator, is provided for mixing solution leaving the generator and solution going to enter the generator. The system disclosed is capable of increasing the performance of heat transfer in the generator and reducing the cost of the generator, and thermal stress will also be reduced.
