Claim 0:
1. A refrigeration system comprising:
a refrigerant evaporator coil, and
an evaporative refrigerant condenser housing, said evaporative refrigerant condenser housing containing therein:
an air mover,
a refrigerant condensing coil,
a plenum located beneath said refrigerant condensing coil,
a water basin located beneath said plenum,
a water pump located and configured to draw water from said water basin and deliver it to a water distribution system located above said refrigerant condensing coil;

wherein the plenum of evaporative refrigerant condenser housing contains
a vapor/liquid separation structure;
a refrigerant compressor;
a collection vessel, and
a refrigerant pump;

said vapor/liquid separation structure configured to separate low pressure refrigerant vapor from low pressure refrigerant liquid, said vapor/liquid separation structure having an inlet connected to an outlet of said refrigerant evaporator coil via refrigerant line, an inlet connected to an outlet of said collection vessel via refrigerant line, a vapor outlet connected to an inlet of said refrigerant compressor via refrigerant line and a liquid outlet connected to an inlet of said refrigerant pump;
said refrigerant pump having an outlet connected to an inlet of said refrigerant evaporator coil via refrigerant line and configured to pump refrigerant through said refrigeration system;
said refrigerant condenser coil having an inlet connected to an outlet of said refrigerant compressor via refrigerant line and configured to condense refrigerant vapor to refrigerant liquid,
said collection vessel having an inlet connected to an outlet of said refrigerant condenser coil via refrigerant line.
