Abstract
In a rectifying apparatus of vapor/liquid contact type, the rectifier 5 is disposed above a regenerator 4 and has two stages, a lower recovery stage and an upper condensation stage. The two stages are filled with filler elements 7a, 7b and 7c, 7d, respectively. Each filler elements 7a and 7c has a conical bottom for biasing the falling liquid towards its center and the rising refrigerant vapor towards its outer edge. The rising speed of the refrigerant vapor is made more uniform and the falling liquid has less tendency to drip down along the side wall. As the contact between the vapor and the liquid is increased, the efficiency of rectification is enhanced.
Claims5
A rectifying apparatus for an absorption refrigerator for passing a refrigerant vapor generated in a regenerator through a vapor/liquid contact block to increase its purity and supplying the refrigerant vapor of a higher purity back to a condenser, said the vapor/liquid contact block comprising:
- liquid dispersing means for dispersing the contact liquid to have contact with the refrigerant vapor throughout a larger area;
- and
- filler elements disposed beneath the liquid dispersing means and having a conical structure with a center region of the bottom projected downwardly for implementing the optimum contact of the contact liquid dripped from the liquid dispersing means with the refrigerant vapor passing through the filler elements.
