Abstract
In an absorption cooling system, a refrigerant condensate is converted to a refrigerant gas in an evaporator to achieve a cooling effect. The refrigerant gas is then converted into smaller bubbles in an inlet chamber of an absorber, and a mixture of those bubbles and lithium bromide solution is raised through a heat-exchange conduit to an outlet chamber of the absorber to cause the refrigerant gas to be absorbed by the lithium bromide. The lithium bromide which is diluted by the refrigerant gas is fed to a generator which separates the refrigerant from the lithium bromide. Residual refrigerant gas in the out let chamber of the absorber is returned to the inlet chamber.
