<p>A method and apparatus combining absorption refrigeration and mechanical expansion refrigeration to chill an air conditioning medium wherein a mechanical refrigeration system 12,14,16,18,20 is alternately connected in series with an absorption refrigeration system during a cooling cycle to cool an external air conditioning medium, and connected to drive the absorption system during a storage cycle to concentrate and store a strong internal liquid absorbent solution in a first reservoir 40 and to store an internal diluent refrigeration liquid in a second reservoir 50, which liquids are utilized during the cooling cycle. In the storage cycle, heat extracted from the condenser 12 of the mechanical refrigeration system heats a weak absorbent solution, and diluent evaporated therefrom is condensed by cooling from the evaporator 14 of the mechanical refrigeration system. <IMAGE></p> |
