Abstract
The invention relates to a vacuum container for an adsorption refrigeration machine, said vacuum container being connected to a condenser unit of the adsorption refrigeration machine via connection means that permit the passage of vapor. The container has a discharge arrangement and at least one cooling element. The connection means are provided with at least one component for shutting off or regulating the flow of fluids.
Claims19
A vacuum container for an adsorption refrigeration machine,
- wherein
- the vacuum container is connected to a condenser unit of the adsorption refrigeration machine via a connection that is open to permit vapor to pass through, and the container has a discharge mechanism and at least one cooling element, wherein at least one component for shutting off or regulating the flow of fluids is provided in the connection.
A method of removing a foreign gas from an adsorption refrigeration machine comprising at least one adsorber/desorber unit, one evaporator/condenser unit and one vacuum container having at least one cooling element and comprising:
- a. cooling the container by the cooling element to a temperature, which is lower than, the same as or similar to the condenser unit,
- b. introducing a refrigerant in the form of vapor out of the desorber unit into the condenser unit such that the refrigerant is at least partially condensed in the condenser unit and the inert gas collects in the condenser, and
- c. opening a component situated between the condenser unit and the vacuum container for shutting off or regulating the flow of fluids such that a foreign gas and a refrigerant in vapor form flow out of the condenser unit and into the vacuum container.
