Hyperabsorption space conditioning process and apparatus

摘要

A high efficiency space conditioning process and apparatus for heating and cooling utilizing an absorption cycle in the nature of absorption heat pumps for heating and cooling. The invention provides a process and apparatus having a higher Coefficient of Performance than conventional absorption heat pumps by utilization of a substantially saturated salt solution cycle between the absorber and generator wherein salt is crystallized to the solid phase in the generator and the heat of crystallization is utilized for refrigerant vaporization occurring simultaneously.
