Abstract:
An absorption refrigerator comprising:a high temperature regenerator for evaporating and separating a refrigerant by heating and boiling it with a burner, and for obtaining a refrigerant vapor and an intermediate absorption liquid from a dilute absorption liquid; a low temperature regenerator for further evaporating and separating the refrigerant by heating the intermediate absorption liquid generated and supplied by said high temperature regenerator with the refrigerant vapor generated by the high temperature regenerator, for obtaining the refrigerant vapor and a dense absorption liquid from the intermediate absorption liquid; a condenser supplied with a refrigerant liquid condensed by heating the intermediate absorption liquid by said low temperature regenerator and, at the same time, for obtaining the refrigerant liquid by cooling the refrigerant vapor generated and supplied by the low temperature regenerator; an evaporator in which the refrigerant liquid supplied from said condenser is sprayed on a heat conductive pipe and the refrigerant evaporates by absorbing heat from a fluid flowing in the heat conductive pipe; an absorber responsive to the refrigerant vapor generated and supplied by said evaporator for making a dilute absorption liquid by absorption into the dense absorption liquid supplied by separating the refrigerant vapor from the low temperature regenerator, and for supplying the high temperature regenerator therewith; a low temperature heat exchanger for providing heat exchange between the dilute absorption liquid and the dense absorption liquid entering and exiting said absorber exchange; and a high temperature heat exchanger for providing heat exchange between the intermediate absorption liquid and the dilute absorption liquid entering and exiting the high temperature regenerator, and wherein are provided: a first exhaust gas heat collector for providing heat exchanged between an exhaust gas exhausted from the burner and the dilute absorption liquid having passed through the high temperature heat exchanger; a second exhaust gas heat collector for providing heat exchange between the exhaust gas having passed through said first exhaust gas heat collector and the dilute absorption liquid before entering the high temperature heat exchanger after passing through the low temperature heat exchanger; and a dilute absorption liquid branch pipe for making a part of the dilute absorption liquid exiting the absorber bypass the low temperature heat exchanger, and flow into the second exhaust gas heat collector by heat-exchanging with the refrigerant liquid exiting the low temperature regenerator and leading to the condenser.
