This application discloses a single effect and double effect absorption refrigerating system, in which water is used as a refrigerant and LiBr as an absorbent, for example. A refrigerating cycle is formed by connecting in an air-tight manner a high temperature generator to be heated by a high temperature heat source, a first low temperature generator to be heated by refrigerant vapor separated from a dilute solution in said high temperature generator, a condenser, an evaporator, an absorber, a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger by means of refrigerant lines, dilute solution lines and dense solution lines. A second low temperature generator to be heated by a low temperature heat source is disposed between one of the dilute solution lines and one of the dense solution lines so as to communicate with said condenser, whereby the supply of a solution and a fuel to said high temperature generator may be controlled dependent on the heating capacity of said second low temperature generator. Dependent on the low temperature heat source and loads, the operation mode of the absorption refrigerating system may selectively be switched to either a single effect operation, or a double effect operation, or a single effect-double effect combined operation, thereby to realize the effective use of energy and a stable switching operation.
An absorption cool-water machine including a high quality fuel system and an exhaust heat utility system and apparatus and method for controlling the same is described in which the control has improved effectiveness in preventing the occurrence of crystallization in the exhaust heat exchanger tubing and/or corrosion resulting from an increase in high temperature regenerator temperatures and to otherwise prevent the production of unavailable refrigerant, save energy in an exhaust heat charge mode of operation, and to insure refrigerating ability even when exhaust water temperatures are low without reducing the effectiveness of the machine. In the described organization, a determination is made of the operative state of the exhaust heat utility system and adjustments are automatically made in supremum limiters for controlling the degree of opening of throttle valves for adjusting the supply of fuel and combustion air to the high quality fuel system that supplies heat to the high temperature regenerator.
An absorption cold and warm water system utilizing solar heat in which heat source water obtained by heating water by the solar heat and a main heating source are used is selectively made to function as a warm water system, a first heat pump and a second heat pump in accordance with temperature conditions associated with the heat source water.
An absorption cold and warm water system utilizing solar heat includes a low temperature heat generator using as a heating source low temperature warm water obtained by heating water by the solar heat, a high temperature generator using an ancillary heat source as a heating source when the system runs short of the solar heat, and a low temperature generator. The cold and warm water system is provided with an operation device operative, when the cold and warm water system is in condition in which refrigerating and heating outputs can be provided by using the low temperature warm water, to allow the low temperature warm water to be continuously fed to the cold and warm water system and to control the volume of a solution and a refrigerant in circulation in accordance with temperatures of the cold and warm water, to thereby store the solar heat in the cold and warm water system.
