Abstract

Installation for air-conditioning by absorption, having a high-pressure enclosure 1 containing a heater heated to high temperature, in which a refrigerating fluid is driven by vaporation to form a gaseous refrigerant, and a condenser on which the refrigerating fluid is liquified; a low-pressure enclosure 2 containing an evaporator on which the liquified refrigerant is vaporized for producing a desired cold and an absorber on which the gaseous refrigerant is re-absorbed in the depleted solution before being returned to the heater via a pump; the high-pressure enclosure 1 and the low-pressure enclosure 2 each having a generally toric-shaped casing with a common vertical axis, said high-pressure enclosure 1 being located above said low-pressure enclosure 2; a high-pressure and a low-pressure central free space in each enclosure, the high-pressure central free space in the high-pressure enclosure is de-limited by central cylindrical wall 1a, and the low-pressure central free space in the low-pressure enclosure is de-limited by central cylindrical wall 1b; and a cooler 16-18 arranged in the central free space de-limited by the cylindrical inner walls 1b, 2b of the two casings of the two…
