Abstract

A steam generating and condensing apparatus having a steam generating chamber in which a diluted solution flowing from an absorption device and containing a refrigerant absorbed therein flows outside of the pipes of a steam generating heat exchanger to evaporate the refrigerant from the diluted solution with a hot fluid flowing through the pipes of the steam generating heat exchanger, and a steam condensing chamber in which the refrigerant steam supplied through a partition from the steam generating chamber is condensed by a steam condensing heat exchanger. A double-cylinder assembly is provided composed of outer and inner cylinders, with the inner cylinder being divided by a dispersing end plate into upper and lower chambers serving as a dispersing diluted solution chamber and the steam generating chamber, respectively. The inner and outer cylinders jointly define a space in which the steam condensing chamber is disposed. The partition has eliminators on an upper portion thereof. The dispersing diluted solution pool is provided with a diluted solution inlet pipe. The steam generating chamber has a concentrated solution outlet pipe in a lower portion thereof.
