Abstract
The present invention relates to a separator for the separation of non-condensables and of additives from aqueous lithium bromide used in chillers of the type using water as refrigerant and lithium bromide as absorbent, comprising a vessel of adequate size, provided with inlet means for the liquid containing the non-condensables and/or additive, outlet means for the non-condensables and for the solution enriched with additive, and outlet means for the main quantity of the solution depleted of said non-condensables and/or additive, the configuration of the vessel being such that the liquid flows therethrough in a substantially laminar stream, the time of retention in the vessel being adequate to attain the desired degree of separation. A preferred embodiment comprises a separator of horizontal configuration, comprising a conical or polyhedric shell having an opening angle of about 6.degree. to 10.degree., closed at its diversing end by a wall, inlet means being provided at the narrow end, outlet means for the non-condensables and/or the additive being provided at its upper end and for the main stream of the aqueous lithium bromide at the lower end, at the wider end of the conus or p…
