THERMAL CONVERTER UNIT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: heat engineering, refrigerating engineering, absorption machines, thermal converter units and other apparatus of identical purpose. SUBSTANCE: thermal converter unit has four similar modules A, B, C and D with similar absorbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, evaporators 5, 6, 7 and 8, desorbers 9, 10, 11 and 12, condensers 13, 14, 15 and 16 and heat exchangers 17, 18, 19 and 20 arranged in individual housings 21, 22, 23 and 24; heat exchanger of each module is arranged in common housing in such a position that absorber and evaporator located in horizontal row are above it and desorber and condenser are under it. Its units are connected in succession forming closed loops for low-potential medium being heated due to successively connecting in line 31 desorber 9 of module 4, condenser 14 of module B, condenser 15 of module C and evaporator 5 of module A and for high-potential medium being heated due to connecting desorber 10, evaporator 6 of module B and condenser 16 of module D in line 32. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 1 dwg
