Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved absorption refrigeration device of the type using a lithium halide/water cycle wherein baffles defining a substantial pathway are provided over which superheated concentrated lithium halide solution is passed so as to substantially reduce the degree of superheating of such solution. The invention further relates to a process for reducing substantially the superheating of concentrated lithium halide (lithium bromide and/or lithium chloride) in absorption type refrigeration systems, which comprises contacting the superheated solution with an extensive surface (baffle), thereby reducing the superheating.
