- the modularity also extends beyond the field of construction: the same components are used as often as possible. Nevertheless, it should be possible to respond to user needs individually. Thus, depending on the process and Anwe ⁇ deropted with identical design, the refrigerant can be changed. For playing games, the same modules can be operated with Rl 34a or R404a or according to other suitable refrigerants. Of course, this also has other benefits, etc. result.

- Corresponding to the capacitor 17 as a secondary circuit is a capacitor circuit, which dissipates the heat generated during condensation to the environment or otherwise uses. These two secondary circuits must be connected in any case. If subcooler 18 and desuperheater 16 are also used in module M, there is a subcooler circuit and a desuperheater circuit as associated secondary circuits.
- a common collector constructed of manifolds is now provided for several modules, to which the modules are detachably connected, and which connects the modules to the respective common secondary circuit.
- the collector K comprises a plurality of longitudinally parallel collecting tubes 21, .., 24, in a longitudinally extending, common Frame 28 (see also Figures 4 and 6) are housed A pair of manifolds 21, 22 and 23, 24, respectively, which serve the flow and return in the corresponding secondary circuit, in the example of FIG. 2, the manifold 21 for the flow, the manifold 22 is responsible for the return in the condenser circuit.

- the collector K extends in the longitudinal direction over a plurality of receiving spaces (AR, dashed lines in Fig. 3), which are lined up in the longitudinal direction one behind the other and are each designed for receiving one of the standardized modules M.
- a module M can be inserted into each of the receiving spaces AR and connected to the collecting pipes 21, 24, 24 in order to increase the cooling capacity of the entire system or to provide (for example in the form of a heat pump) other thermal or air-conditioning functions.

Depending on the process requirement, one or more modules, which are combined into a system, are sufficient.
- the individual modules can (but do not have to) be the same in terms of performance or design.
- the system size depends on the secondary medium (water, propylene, ethylene, etc.), the maximum cooling resp. Heat output (condensation capacity), the desired or required temperature difference of the secondary medium resp. the funded mass flow and the associated flow velocity.
- As a standard for the headers 21 1 .., 24 is preferably a line cross-section with a diameter of DN 150mm used. It can then be connected to a collector K a corresponding number of modules M with low power or a smaller number of modules M with great power.

This ensures that a system 10 of the described type can be assembled in a "normal” room without any special structural changes, and that the collector should be able to be installed in any "normal” room. It therefore becomes a ground support the collector K used (see Figs. 4 and 6), which in addition has the advantage that no ceiling installations are necessary and conflicts with other mounted on the ceiling air conditioning or electrical equipment are avoided.
- the maximum height of the collector K is preferably limited so that installation in a room with a ceiling height of 2.50 meters is possible.
- a plurality of modules M 1,..., M n accommodated in corresponding receiving spaces AR of the collector K are connected to the collector K via its associated control circuits RK with its collecting pipes 21 1 .
- Further manifolds in the collector K for any desuperheater or subcooler circuits are not shown here for the sake of simplicity, but are shown in FIG. 6 (manifolds 41, 42).

- the headers 21, .., 24; 41, 42 are mounted in the frame 28 above the receiving spaces AR for receiving the modules M, Ml, M2 in several superimposed planes.
- the collector K has per secondary circuit in each case two manifolds 21, 22 and 23, 24 and 41 or 42 for the flow or return of the associated secondary därmediums.
- the headers 21, 23, 42 for the flow and the manifolds 22, 24, 41 for the return are mounted on different levels with corresponding 31 and 29, respectively.
- the manifolds 21, .., 24 of the collector K are dimensioned (DN 150mm), that the total cross section of the outgoing pipes (outlets 32) on the modules M, MI, M2 is smaller than the total cross section of the collector K (uniform distribution to all outgoing pipes).
- the collector K can be connected by means of corresponding flanges, Straub couplings, etc. at both ends. As a result, a series of several collectors K is possible.
- the material of the collector K (the manifolds) may vary depending on the conditions of use, such as: • Stainless steel
- the modules M, MI 1 M2 each have four secondary circuits in the example of FIGS. 4 to 6, the first two in each case, but the last two may not have to be connected depending on the system requirements:
- the collector K can be built on "today's needs” and extended later, if it is to be extended (adding another collector to the existing collector end).
- the control and regulation of the individual secondary circuits is modular with individual control circuits RKI (RK in Fig. 5) constructed and can be prefabricated interface-friendly. It can be distinguished whether per module and secondary circuit each have a pump 37, 38 or a central pump and / or depending on the process, for example, the subcooler circuit with a central pump for all modules and the other secondary circuits, each with its own pump per module should be. Correspondingly (depending on the process), two, three, shut-off and / or balancing valves are installed (FIG. 5). Desuperheater and subcooler circuits prepared in the modules M, M1, M2 may also be connected at a later time.
- Collector K always has defined interfaces and, depending on requirements, consists of different modules:
- Modules M • It is designed for two or more (up to the maximum possible number) of Modules M.
- the interface is defined via a manual valve (ball valve, etc.) and a subsequent detachable connection (flange, etc.).
- the minimum of the collected secondary sewage are two circles (evaporator and condenser circuits), 4 manifolds DN 150mm.
- hose connections 36 to the modules M are provided, which compensate for dimensional tolerances between module M and collector K, galvanically separate different metals (electrical separation, equipotential bonding) and prevent vibration and pulsation transmission between the modules M and the collector K.
- the control cabinets (SS in Fig. 6) are also modular.
- the control cables (26 in Fig. 3) between the module M and cabinet SS are routed through plug, the compressor connection cable 27 is hardwired.
- the individual control cabinets SS have identical control and regulating components (depending on the process requirement).
- a master transmits the respective (ON / OFF) commands via the data bus 39 in automatic mode.
- One, two or all modules M can be equipped with a frequency converter (also retrofitted), as shown in Fig. 4 of WO-Al -2004/020918.
- the modules and the collection can be easily adapted and reused, whereby a room with standard dimensions is sufficient as installation location for the system 10 or 30 , Smaller modules (in terms of performance) can later easily be exchanged for modules with greater performance,
