More Information
Summary:A water vapor vacuum refrigeration chilled water system with a compressor that allows flash cooling refrigeration system to be practical size and weight. The system utilizes only water vapor. Innovative features include a unique plenum condenser system which allows the refrigeration system to be totally enclosed with little or no effect of ambient temperatures on system performances. The plenum type spray condenser does not need fins or tubes as common refrigeration condensers. The compressor allows the large volume of water vapor to be compressed at high pressure ratios. The compressor is much smaller and lighter than state of the art positive or centrifugal type compressor for the required compression requirements. The compressor sections are made with two dissimilar type compressor rotating sections to obtain the required pressure ratios and flows.
