Abstract
An absorption type refrigerating apparatus is provided which is capable of not discharging to the outside but, instead, oxidizes hydrogen gas generated therein to water through reaction with metal oxide to inhibit a reduction of the operational efficiency. The hydrogen gas saved in the condenser is brought in direct contact with a metal oxide of the hydrogen gas removing module provided in the condenser . This causes the reducing reaction of the metal oxide to transform the hydrogen gas to water. The module of a reduction unit is accommodated in the condenser thus eliminating the need of a conventional sealing structure where the reduction unit is provided outside and connected by a conduit to the condenser The reducing reaction can favorably be promoted by the heat of a refrigerant vapor introduced into the condenser through its inlet
