Abstract
Provided is a refrigeration system including a thermal store and a circuit around which a refrigerant circulates. The circuit includes a compressor and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between the refrigerant and the thermal store, and the thermal store surrounds at least part of the compressor to absorb noise generated by the compressor.
Claims24
A refrigeration system comprising:
- a thermal store;
- and
- a circuit around which a refrigerant circulates, the circuit comprising a compressor and a heat exchanger;
- wherein the heat exchanger exchanges heat between the refrigerant and the thermal store, and the thermal store surrounds at least part of the compressor to absorb noise generated by the compressor.
