The thermo-compression refrigeration system using water as a refrigerant proposes a system for conditioning a dwelling or a commercial space. This system is operated only with water as a refrigerant and working fluid. The configuration of the system is nested, since it mainly includes a condenser, which houses a direct contact evaporator as well as other devices useful for performing the refrigeration cycle. The invention also includes a steam ejector located at the upper portion of the condenser, this being intended to carry out the compression of the system, since thermo-compression effect provided by the same is used. The system is substantially different from conventional systems of air conditioning, since they use synthetic refrigerants such as R22, which have a high environmental impact. On the other hand, the thermo-compression performed by the system with water as refrigerant, gives the opportunity to energize the system with an alternate power source, such as the thermal sola r energy, thereby reducing, even more, the ecological impact that the system may have upon substantially reducing the electric consumption.
