It is pointed out that the line design is difficult, and it is difficult to integrally install all the components in one fuselage.

In addition, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases due to the complicated structure, the piping is complicated, and it becomes difficult to maintain the airtight due to the problem of difficult to maintain airtightness.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a regenerator of an absorption refrigeration system and an absorption refrigerator including the same, in which all components of the absorption refrigeration system can be densely installed in one case. .

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a regenerator of an absorption type refrigeration system in which the refrigerant is vaporized and separated from the absorbent liquid in which the refrigerant is absorbed, wherein the refrigerant is absorbed such that the absorbent liquid in which the refrigerant is absorbed and the heat source medium can be heat-exchanged with each other. A main body portion including a plurality of plates forming an absorbent liquid passage through which the absorbent liquid flows and a heat source medium passage through which the heat source medium flows, and a separation part separating the refrigerant vaporized from the main body portion and the absorbent liquid from each other; It may include a regenerator of the absorption refrigeration system.

The heat source medium may be at least one of hot water, steam, combustion gas, exhaust gas, solar heat.

The absorbent liquid passage of the main body portion is formed such that the absorbent liquid flows into the lower side of the main body portion and is discharged to the upper side of the main body portion, and the heat source medium passage of the main body portion of the main body portion flows into the upper side of the main body portion and discharges to the lower side of the main body portion. It may be formed to.

The separation unit is connected to the discharge side of the absorbent liquid passage and has a separation chamber having an internal space formed with a refrigerant discharge port through which the vaporized refrigerant is discharged above the discharge side of the absorption liquid passage, and the vertical direction in the internal space of the separation chamber. The separator may be provided to partition the outlet side and the refrigerant outlet side of the absorbent liquid passage, and may include a separator plate formed to allow vaporized refrigerant vapor to pass therethrough.

The separation chamber may be connected to an outlet of the absorbent liquid passage of the main body and connected to an absorbent liquid pipe for guiding the absorbed liquid discharged from the main body.

The separation chamber may be formed as a chamber space formed inside the main body by a plurality of plates forming the main body.

The main body portion is formed such that one side of the upper portion protrudes upward than the other side, the separation portion may be provided on one side of the upper portion of the main body portion.

In addition, the present invention is an air absorber made of an air-cooled heat exchanger structure so that the refrigerant vapor is air-cooled and absorbed by the absorption liquid; A condenser installed in a line above the absorber and configured of a heat exchanger structure to condense refrigerant vapor; An evaporator configured to allow the refrigerant condensed in the condenser to vaporize by heat exchange with a heat source medium and flow to the absorber; The regenerators installed in a row above the evaporator; A heat exchanger disposed in a line between the regenerator and the evaporator, the heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the absorbent liquid vaporized in the refrigerant in the regenerator and the absorbent liquid absorbed in the absorber in the regenerator; can do.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

However, in describing the present invention, a detailed description of known functions or configurations will be omitted in order not to disturb the gist of the present invention.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, one embodiment according to the present invention is the evaporator 100 and the absorber 200, the heat exchanger 300, the regenerator 400 so that the refrigerant can be circulated along the absorption refrigeration cycle It relates to an absorption refrigeration system comprising a condenser (500). The refrigerant may be any medium suitable for an absorption refrigeration cycle, and water may be preferably provided as described below.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the absorption refrigeration system may include one evaporator 100, one absorber 200, one heat exchanger 300, one regenerator 400, and one condenser 500. In addition, the absorption refrigeration system is capable of various modifications based on the cycle as shown in FIG. For example, as shown in Figure 2, including the evaporator 100, absorber 200, heat exchanger 300, regenerator 400, condenser 500, the heat exchanger 300 is a high temperature heat exchanger (300A), It consists of a low temperature heat exchanger (300B) and the regenerator 400 may be made of a high temperature regenerator (400A), a low temperature regenerator (400B). Here, reference numeral 2000 of FIG. 2 is an exhaust gas pipe through which exhaust gas flows, and 2100 is a burner for heating. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, an auxiliary regenerator 1400, an auxiliary heat exchanger 1300, and an auxiliary condenser 1500 may be further included. Since the cycle operation of the modified absorption refrigeration system as shown in Figures 2 and 3 is a well known technology, further detailed description is omitted.

For reference, arrows A of Figures 1 to 2, the flow of the refrigerant of the absorption refrigeration system, arrow B is the air flow by the blowing fan (250,510), arrow C is hot water or steam, combustion gas, exhaust gas, solar heat flow, Arrow D shows the flow of the refrigerant in the air conditioner, arrow E shows the flow of the solution.

Detailed description of each configuration of the absorption type refrigeration system according to the present invention is as follows.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the evaporator 100 is a vaporizing action in which the refrigerant condensed in the condenser 500 absorbs heat from the heat transfer medium and vaporizes into a refrigerant vapor. And it may be made of a variety of structures depending on the heat exchange method of the heat transfer medium.

Particularly, when the heat transfer medium is used as a refrigerant of another heat exchange cycle (for example, an air conditioning system as described below) in addition to the absorption refrigeration cycle, the evaporator 100 is a refrigerant and the heat transfer medium of the evaporator 100 as shown. It may be formed to have a refrigerant flow passage through which the refrigerant flows and the heat transfer medium flow passage through which the heat transfer medium flows so as to be heat exchanged with each other. Such an evaporator 100 may be particularly preferable to take a plate heat exchanger structure, so that the overall structure can be designed compactly and compactly.

The absorber 200 may be water-cooled so that heat may be released by a fluid such as water. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 as well as FIGS. 9 to 11, the absorber 200 may be air-cooled as described above, and the vaporized refrigerant vapor in the evaporator 100 is around the absorber 200. Absorption may be performed by being absorbed in the absorbent liquid in the absorber 200 while releasing heat by heat exchange with air. For reference, arrows AA illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8 are flows of absorbent liquid, and arrows AB are refrigerant flows.

The absorber 200 may be particularly preferably formed as follows.

That is, the absorber 200 includes distributors 220 and 1220 through which the refrigerant vapor discharged from the evaporator 100 and the absorbent liquid discharged from the regenerator 400 flow, and refrigerant vapor and the absorbent liquid from the distributors 220 and 1220. It may include a body portion (hereinafter, referred to as the 'absorber body portion 210' for convenience of description) is introduced together and the refrigerant vapor is air-cooled to be absorbed in the absorption liquid.

The distribution units 220 and 1220 allow the refrigerant vapor discharged from the evaporator 100 and the absorbent liquid discharged from the regenerator 400 to flow into the absorber main body 210 after being mixed in the distribution units 220 and 1220. Can be sufficiently absorbed in the absorbent liquid more easily and uniformly.

To this end, as a first embodiment as shown in FIG. 11, the distribution unit 1220 includes an internal space in which a refrigerant space portion 1222 into which refrigerant vapor is introduced and an absorption liquid space portion 1224 into which an absorption liquid is introduced are partitioned. A distribution header 1220 having a first and first refrigerant vapors discharged from the refrigerant space portion 1222 of the distribution header 1220 to the absorber main body 210 and provided in a plurality of upper and lower directions; The distribution pipe 226 may include a plurality of second distribution pipes 228 connecting the absorption liquid space portion of the distribution header 1220 and each of the first distribution pipes 226.

The distribution header 1220 corresponds to a plurality of first distribution pipes 226 and second distribution pipes 228 provided in the vertical direction as described above so that the refrigerant vapor and the absorbent liquid introduced can be easily distributed in the vertical direction. It may be formed long in the vertical direction.

When the distribution header 1220 is an air flow direction by the blower fans 250 and 510 for air cooling, the air flow direction is positioned on either of the left and right sides of the absorber main body 210 so as not to affect the air cooling. desirable. In this case, the distribution header 1220 may be formed such that the refrigerant space portion 1222 and the absorbent liquid space portion 1224 are parallel to each other in the front-rear direction, and may be formed to have a substantially elliptical shape when viewed from above to secure sufficient space. have.

In addition, the distribution header 1220 may be formed with an absorption liquid inlet 1224A through which the absorption liquid flows in the upper portion of the absorption liquid space 1224 of the distribution header 1220. Therefore, since the absorbent liquid in the distribution header 1220 does not flow back into the absorbent liquid inlet 1224A, the reverse direction resistance of the absorbent liquid can be prevented, thereby reducing the pump capacity of the absorbent liquid. The absorption liquid inlet 1224A of the distribution header 1220 is formed on the opposite side of the absorber main body 210 of the distribution header 1220 around the distribution header 1220 so that the overall piping design can be simplified. It may be formed to flow along the left and right directions. In addition, the distribution header 1220 is formed so that the absorbent liquid outlet 1224B can be disposed in the left and right direction with the absorbent liquid inlet 1224A of the distribution header 1220 so that the absorbent liquid can be discharged toward the absorber body portion 210. Can be.

In addition, the distribution header 1220 may be formed with a refrigerant inlet (1222A) through which the refrigerant vapor flows in the center side of the distribution header 1220 along the vertical direction of the refrigerant space (1222). It can be distributed evenly in the vertical direction. The coolant inlet 1222A of the distribution header 1220, like the absorbent liquid inlet 1224A of the distribution header 1220, is also opposite the absorber body portion 210 of the distribution header 1220 about the distribution header 1220. Is formed in the refrigerant vapor may be formed to flow along the left and right directions. In addition, the distribution header 1220 is formed such that the refrigerant outlet (1222B) can be disposed in the left and right direction with the refrigerant inlet (1222A) of the distribution header 1220 so that the refrigerant vapor is discharged toward the absorber body portion 210. Can be.

Here, an ejector 1221 may be provided at the refrigerant outlet 1222B of the distribution header 1220. That is, the ejector 1221 has a refrigerant vapor passage through which refrigerant vapor flows, such as an orifice, with a size relatively smaller than that of the first distribution pipe 226 as well as the refrigerant outlet 1222B of the distribution header 1220. As formed, the refrigerant vapor may be accelerated while passing through the ejector 1221 and flow toward the absorber main body 210 at a high speed. Therefore, due to the collision and the disturbance caused by the fast flow rate of the refrigerant vapor by the ejector 1221, the refrigerant vapor and the absorbent liquid in the first distribution pipe 226 can be smoothly mixed with each other. In addition, since the refrigerant vapor can be pumped to the absorber main body 210 by the ejector 1221, the pump capacity for refrigerant circulation can be reduced by the ejector 1221 or the ejector 1221 can be used for refrigerant circulation. It can be a pump substitute.

In addition, the first distribution pipe 226 may be formed of a straight pipe so that the refrigerant vapor accelerated by the ejector 1221 may flow directly to the absorber main body 210 without receiving resistance. Here, in order to prevent the resistance of the refrigerant vapor accelerated by the ejector 1221 and to efficiently mix the refrigerant vapor with the refrigerant vapor, as described above, the second distribution pipe 228 is connected to the first distribution pipe 226, thereby absorbing the liquid. It may be desirable to flow towards the refrigerant vapor.

The ejector 1221 may be integrally formed with the distribution header 1220, or may be manufactured separately from the distribution header 1220 and then integrally coupled to the distribution header 1220.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the distribution unit 220 may eject the refrigerant vapor through the refrigerant inlet 222A and the ejector 221 into the refrigerant outlet 222B through which the refrigerant vapor is discharged. The refrigerant vapor header 222 and the absorbent liquid is introduced through the absorbent liquid inlet 224A and the absorbent liquid header 224 discharged through the absorbent liquid outlet 224B, and the refrigerant vapor header 222 and the absorber main body 210 ) And a plurality of first distribution pipes 226 provided along the up and down direction, and a plurality of second distribution pipes 228 connecting the absorbent liquid header 224 and each of the first distribution pipes 226. Can be. That is, the distribution unit 220 may be structurally separated from the refrigerant vapor header 222 and the absorbent liquid header 224 in comparison with the distribution unit 1220 as shown in FIG. Can be made.

The absorber main body 210 may have any structure as long as it is easy to air-cool, and preferably may have a fin heat exchanger structure. That is, the absorber main body 210 is integrated with the heat transfer pipe 212 and the heat transfer pipe 212 formed to allow air cooling by the refrigerant vapor and the absorbent liquid introduced from the distribution unit 220 flows together. It may include a plurality of heat exchange fins 214 coupled to. The absorber main body 210 may have various shapes according to the air flow direction by the blowing fans 250 and 510. Preferably, in order to secure a wider heat exchange area of the absorber main body 210 in a predetermined space, as shown in FIGS. The first body portion 210A and the heat transfer tube 212 disposed in the front-rear direction with the blowing fans 250 and 510 so as to be disposed perpendicular to the air flow direction by the 250 and 510 may be disposed on the left side of the first body portion 210A. Or it may be made of a second body portion (210B) integrally formed with the first body portion (210A) to take a structure bent in the front and rear direction toward the blowing fan (250,510) from the right end. That is, the absorber main body 210 may have a substantially '-' planar structure. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the absorber main body 210 may be integrally formed at the left and right ends of the first main body 210A and the first main body 210A, respectively. By the pair of the second body portion 210B, it is possible to take a substantially 'C' planar structure.

Here, as described below, when the air flow direction is in the front-rear direction by the blowing fans 250 and 510, the heat transfer pipe 212 is installed in the left and right directions in the first body portion 210A, and the second body portion 210B is The heat transfer pipe 212 may be installed in the front and rear direction pipe. In addition, the second main body 210B may be disposed on the opposite side of the distribution unit 220 around the first main body 210A so as not to structurally interfere with the distribution unit 220. In addition, the blowing fans 250 and 510 are forcibly blowing air to the absorber main body 210 so that air cooling in the absorber main body 210 is smooth and sufficient, and may have various structures according to the air flow direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the blower fans 250 and 510 rotate in the front and rear directions as illustrated so that air may be blown in the front and rear directions by the blower fans 250 and 510. Can be made. Alternatively, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, one of the blower fans 510 rotates in the vertical direction between the first main body 210A and the pair of second main body 210B of the absorber main body 210. It can be made so that the air can be blown in the vertical direction by being installed so as to be rotatable.

On the other hand, the absorber main body 210 has a discharge port 232 through which the absorbent liquid (hereinafter, referred to as a 'dilute solution') for absorbing the refrigerant by the air cooling described above is discharged from the absorber main body 210 up and down A plurality may be formed along the direction. In addition, the absorber main body 210 may be connected to the discharge header 230 which is collected by gathering the dilute solution discharged from the plurality of outlets 232 of the absorber main body 210 into one. The discharge header 230 may be installed side by side in the front-rear direction with the distribution unit 220, as shown in order to simplify the overall structural. The discharge header 230 may have a discharge port 230A through which the dilute solution introduced is discharged, and in this case, the pump volume may be easily discharged from the discharge header 230 by free fall. May be reduced or the pump may be omitted.

Next, the heat exchanger 300 is such that the relatively low temperature dilute solution discharged from the absorber 200 and the relatively high temperature concentrated solution discharged from the regenerator 400 can be heat exchanged with each other. Any possible structure may be used as long as it is possible. However, in order to reduce the overall structure of the regenerator 400 described below, it may be preferable to have a plate heat exchanger structure.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 as well as FIGS. 12 to 15, the regenerator 400 allows the refrigerant to be vaporized from the dilute solution to separate the refrigerant and the absorbent liquid, and the type of heat source for vaporizing the refrigerant, The heat source and the dilute solution may be structured according to a heat exchange method, and the like, in particular, it may be preferable to make the following. For reference, in FIG. 12 to FIG. 15, arrow GA is a dilute solution flow, arrow GB is a thick solution flow, arrow GC is a refrigerant vapor flow, and arrow GD is a heat source medium flow such as hot water.

That is, the regenerator 400 is a body in which a thin solution and a heat source medium (for example, hot water, low temperature water, middle temperature water, steam, combustion gas, exhaust gas, solar heat, etc.) which are the aforementioned heat sources are mutually heat-exchanged to vaporize the refrigerant from the dilute solution. It may include a unit (hereinafter referred to as "regenerator main body 410" for convenience of explanation), and the separation unit 420 to separate the refrigerant and the absorbing liquid vaporized from the regenerator main body 410.

Such a player 400 may be implemented in two ways depending on whether the separator 420 is located inside or outside the body of the player 410.

First, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 as the first eye, the separating part 420 may be located outside the player body part 410.

In this case, the regenerator body 410 may have a structure in which an absorbent liquid passage 410E through which a thin solution flows by a plurality of plates and a heat source medium passage 410F through which a heat source medium flows are formed, respectively, like a plate heat exchanger. That is, the plurality of plates 412 of the regenerator body 410 may each be made of a material having a high heat exchange rate such as aluminum and / or a material having excellent corrosion resistance such as stainless steel, and the absorbent passage 410E and the heat source medium. Some or all of the passages 410F may be formed as uneven surfaces. Of course, the absorbent liquid passage 410E and the heat source medium passage 410F of the regenerator body portion 410 may be formed in an airtight structure such that the absorbent liquid and the refrigerant do not mix with the heat source medium.

In particular, in the regenerator main body 410, the absorbent liquid passage 410E of the regenerator main body 410 is provided with an absorbent liquid (that is, a dilute solution state) flowing into the lower side of the regenerator main body 410. It may be formed to be discharged to. That is, the regenerator main body portion 410 has a dilute solution inlet 410A in which a dilute solution flows into the absorbent liquid passage 410E, and the absorbent liquid in which the refrigerant is vaporized and separated by heat exchange with a heat source medium on the upper side thereof. A thick solution outlet 410B (hereinafter, referred to as a 'deep solution' for convenience of explanation) may be formed. Therefore, a dilute solution can be easily introduced from the heat exchanger 300 under the regenerator body portion 410, and the concentrated solution discharged from the regenerator body portion 410 can freely fall into the absorber 200. have. At this time, the dilute solution inlet 410A and the concentrated solution outlet 410B of the regenerator main body 410 are each infused with a dilute solution along the joining direction of the plurality of plates 412 to facilitate inflow and discharge. It can be formed to be discharged. A dilute solution pipe connecting the heat exchanger 300 and the regenerator 400 is installed at the dilute solution inlet 410A of the regenerator main body 410, and the regenerator (410B) is provided at the thick solution outlet 410B of the regenerator main body 410. A thick solution pipe 700, which is an absorption liquid pipe connecting the 400 and the absorber 200, may be installed.

In addition, the heat source medium passage 410F of the regenerator body part 410 allows the heat source medium to flow into the upper side of the regenerator body part 410 so that the heat source medium flows in opposition to the refrigerant and the absorbent liquid. It may be formed to be discharged to the lower side. That is, the hot water inlet 410C may be formed at the upper side of the regenerator main body 410, and the hot water outlet 410D may be formed at the lower side of the regenerator main body 410. The hot water inlet 410C and the hot water outlet 410D of the regenerator main body 410 may be formed to allow hot water to flow in and out along the coupling direction of the plurality of plates 412 to facilitate inflow and discharge. Hot water inlets 410C and hot water outlets 410D of the regenerator body 410 may be provided with hot water pipes for guiding hot water, respectively.

Meanwhile, the regenerator body 410 may further include a cover 414 integrally coupled with the plurality of plates 412 with the plurality of plates 412 interposed therebetween. The cover 414 may be formed of various materials. For example, the cover 414 may be formed of a material having a low heat exchange rate such that heat exchange between the refrigerant, the absorption liquid, and the heat source medium through the plurality of plates 412 may be disconnected from the surroundings.

As such, the regenerator main body 410 has a structure such as a plate heat exchanger, so that the hot water, which is a heat source medium, is heat-exchanged while flowing along the narrow and long absorbent liquid passage 410E without absorbing the refrigerant absorbed therein. Since the solution can be heat-exchanged with hot water sequentially and evenly as a whole, a small amount of dilute solution can sufficiently regenerate the refrigerant vapor to be supplied to the condenser. Therefore, the capacity of the refrigerant and the absorbing liquid can be reduced, the regenerator main body 410 can be downsized, and the heat exchange rate between the dilute solution and the hot water is very excellent.

In addition, the separation unit 420 is installed outside the regenerator main body 410, and in particular, a separation chamber 422 connected to the discharge side of the absorption liquid passage 410E, that is, the concentrated solution pipe 700, and a separation chamber ( It may include a separation plate 424 installed inside the 422 to separate the internal space of the separation chamber 422.

The separation chamber 422 has a predetermined inner space 422A in which the separation plate 424 is installed, and the refrigerant vapor and the concentrated solution can be naturally separated up and down by gravity by using a characteristic of boiling up the heated refrigerant vapor. It can be made of a long barrel structure in the vertical direction so that. In addition, the separation chamber 422 is a concentrated solution piping connector 422B to which the concentrated solution pipe 700 is connected to the lower side to allow the vaporized refrigerant discharged from the regenerator body part 410, that is, the refrigerant vapor and the concentrated solution to be introduced therein. 422C) may be formed, and a refrigerant outlet 422D through which the refrigerant vapor separated from the thick solution is discharged by the separator 424 may be formed on the upper side located above the thick solution pipe. At this time, the thick solution pipe 700 may take a structure divided into two around the separation chamber 422, it is formed to penetrate the separation chamber 422 of the separation chamber 422 side of the separation chamber 422 Grooves or holes may be formed to communicate with the interior space 422A.

Separator plate 424 is installed to partition the inner space 422A of the separation chamber 422 in the up and down direction to the discharge side and the refrigerant discharge port 422D side of the absorbent liquid passage 410E, so that the refrigerant vapor can pass through Can be formed.

The separation plate 424 has a thin thickness to partition the internal space 422A of the separation chamber 422, and a plurality of holes may be formed to allow the refrigerant vapor to be notified. The plurality of holes of the separator plate 424 may be finely formed to allow the refrigerant vapor to pass therethrough, and to prevent the thick solution boiling with the refrigerant vapor.

Alternatively, the separator 424 may have a passage through which the refrigerant vapor passes along the up and down direction, such as a labyrinth, and may have a predetermined thickness such that the passage through the labyrinth may be formed.

Alternatively, the separator 424 may be made of a porous material. In particular, the porous material may be made of a demister to remove moisture in the refrigerant vapor.

Second, as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 as the second eye, the player body 410 may be basically similar to the player body 410 of the first eye, except that the player body 410 is provided. The chamber space 410G may be formed inside the regenerator main body 410 by a plurality of plates 412 constituting the regenerator main body 410 so that the separating unit 420 may be integrally formed in the inside of the main body 410. .

Hereinafter, as shown for convenience of description, blower fans 250 and 510 are installed in front of the absorber 200 and the condenser 500, and thus the absorber 200 and the condenser 500 are disposed in the case 12. It demonstrates only limited to what was provided in the rear of 12 A of internal spaces.

In addition, the evaporator 100 is installed to be disposed on the left or right side of the absorber 200 and the condenser 500, and the regenerator 400 may be arranged in a line along the vertical direction on the upper side of the evaporator 100.

Piping design between each component can be made simple and short, not complicated, pipe loss can be prevented, manufacturing costs for the pipe can be reduced, pump capacity can be reduced.

 In addition, since the condenser 500 is installed at a position higher than the evaporator 100, the refrigerant vapor evaporated in the condenser 500 may flow to the evaporator 100 by free fall, and the regenerator 400 may be evaporator 100. As it is installed at a higher position, the concentrated solution regenerated in the regenerator 400 may flow to the evaporator 100 by free fall.

Furthermore, as described above, the absorber 200 and the condenser 500 each have an approximately 'A' structure, and the evaporator 100, the regenerator 400, and the heat exchanger 300 are the absorber 200 and the condenser ( The absorber 200 and the second body portion 210B of the condenser 500 may be installed along the left and right directions about the 500. For example, as shown, the absorber 200, the second body portion (210B, 500B) of the condenser 500 is integral to the right end of the absorber 200, the first body portion (210A, 500A) of the condenser 500 The evaporator 100, the regenerator 400, and the heat exchanger 300 may be installed at the left side of the absorber 200 and the condenser 500. Thus, as described above, the absorber 200 and the condenser 500 may have the largest heat exchange area without structural interference with the evaporator 100, the regenerator 400, and the heat exchanger 300. It may take a magnetic structure, which can also be an advantage that the internal space of the case 12 can be efficiently utilized space without gaps. In addition, the evaporator 100, the regenerator 400, and the heat exchanger 300 may be densely installed next to the absorber 200 and the condenser 500, and may be freed from the influence of air cooling by the blowing fans 250 and 510. In addition, since the blowing fans 250 and 510 are disposed to be disposed in the middle along the left and right directions, the air flow is not disturbed by the evaporator 100, the regenerator 400, and the absorber 200 by the blowing fans 250 and 510, and the case ( 12) the internal space can be efficiently utilized space without gaps.

In particular, as shown, the evaporator 100, the regenerator 400, the heat exchanger 300 is installed to face the second body portion (210B, 500B) of the absorber 200, the condenser 500 along the left and right directions. It may be more advantageous to be. That is, the evaporator 100, the regenerator 400, and the heat exchanger 300 may be installed such that the arrangement directions of the plurality of plates of the plate heat exchanger may be left and right. Therefore, the absorption chiller according to the present invention may be more densely formed, and the evaporator 100, the regenerator 400, and the heat exchanger 300 may be freed from the influence of air by the blowing fans 250 and 510.

Alternatively, the present invention may be characterized as having the following layout (lay-out) as shown in Figs.

The case 12, which is the exterior of the air-cooled refrigeration system according to the present invention, may have a plurality of ventilation holes through which air is blown on the rear, left, right, and upper surfaces so that air is forcedly blown in the vertical direction. As described above, the absorber 200 and the condenser 500 may have a substantially 'c' shape and may be disposed up and down. The blowing fan 510 may be installed to forcibly blow air in the up and down direction while being rotated between the first body part and the second body part of the absorber 200 and the condenser 500 using the up and down direction as the rotation axis. The evaporator 100, the regenerator 400, and the heat exchanger 300 may be installed at opposite sides of the first body of the absorber 200 and the condenser 500, respectively, around the blower fan 510 in the front-rear direction.

On the other hand, the absorption chiller according to the present invention as described above can be densely installed in one case 12 and can be compactly designed, it is possible to easily achieve the system as an air conditioner for home or the like as follows.

The air conditioner is for air conditioning by an air conditioning cycle consisting of evaporation, compression, condensation and expansion. Such an air conditioner is composed of an outdoor unit 10 that is connected to the indoor unit 20 so as to achieve an air conditioning cycle together with the indoor unit 20 and the indoor unit 20 that are structurally largely installed indoors or connected to the room and the ventilation holes. Can be.

The outdoor unit 10 of such an air conditioner may be configured as an absorption chiller according to the present invention. That is, the outdoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is basically a condensation action to condense the refrigerant for the air conditioner. The refrigerant of the air conditioner (that is, the heat transfer medium of the evaporator 100 of the absorption type refrigeration system described above) is Since the evaporator 100 of the absorption chiller 100 may condense by releasing heat to the absorption refrigerant by heat exchange with the refrigerant of the absorption chiller 100, the evaporator 100 of the absorption chiller 100 may be a condenser of the air conditioner. .

In particular, when the absorption chiller according to the present invention as the outdoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is installed as the outdoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, as described above, by the air conditioning cycle consisting of the evaporation, compression, condensation, expansion process Since the heat capacity is much higher than that of a general household air conditioner, the absorption type refrigerator according to the present invention may be very useful as a multi-type air conditioner in which a plurality of indoor units 20 installed in a ceiling or the like are integrally connected to one outdoor unit 10 together.

In addition, for home use, the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner basically includes an evaporator 24 having an air-cooled heat exchanger structure so that indoor air is cooled by heat exchange with a refrigerant of the air conditioner to cool the room. As described above, since the heat capacity of the absorption type refrigerator according to the present invention is large as the outdoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, the refrigerant of the air conditioner is replaced by R-410A, which is generally used as a refrigerant of air conditioner instead of water. Refrigerant may be used.

When an alternative refrigerant such as R-410A is used instead of water as the refrigerant of the air conditioner, since the replacement refrigerant has a larger heat capacity than the water, the cycle size of the air conditioner is reduced because the cycle can be sufficiently performed even with a small amount of water. In addition, as the refrigerant pipe size decreases, the pump capacity may also decrease. In addition, when the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner is installed on a ceiling or the like, the replacement refrigerant is easily evaporated compared to water, and thus no leakage remains in the room even if the water is leaked. In addition, the replacement refrigerant does not need to be concerned about freeze generation as compared to water.

Meanwhile, the expansion valve 22 and the compressor (not shown) of the air conditioner may be installed anywhere of the outdoor unit 10 and the indoor unit 20, or may be installed separately from the outdoor unit 10 and the indoor unit 20. Can be.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above by way of example, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments, and may be appropriately changed within the scope described in the claims.
