Abstract

A device for indirect cold production for a compression, absorption, adsorption or chemical refrigerating system comprises an evaporator in heat exchange relationship with the fluid to be cooled in one or more condensers, themselves in direct heat exchange relationship with the evaporator or the refrigeration circuit reactor, circulation between the evaporator and the condenser being established by gravity flow using a phase change fluid and separate vapour and liquid pipes.
