COMPRESSOR-FREE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM POWERED BY HEAT SOURCE

摘要

A refrigeration system having: a heat source that provides heat energy; a power generator that contains the heat source to heat a refrigerating medium, to increase the temperature and pressure and vaporize the refrigerating medium; a condenser into which flows the liquid refrigerating medium from the power generator under the pressure difference resulted from heating in the power generator, and in which the liquid refrigerating medium temperature is decreased; a throttle valve that jets the liquid refrigerating medium into an evaporator to decrease its pressure and absorb heat; an evaporator to exchange heat from the refrigerating medium with a refrigeration output; and a liquid working medium return unit through which the liquid working medium accumulated on the bottom of the evaporator flows by gravity back freely to the power generator, wherein the evaporator, liquid working medium return unit, and power generator are arranged from top to bottom vertically.
