Abstract
Method for operating refrigerating plants in which a thermal coupling of an electromotively and/or mechanically driven compression refrigerating plant with a thermally supplied refrigerating plant takes place in such a way that the compression refrigerating plant condenser is cooled by the thermally supplied refrigerating plant.
Claims7
A refrigeration plant having a compression portion thermally coupled to an adsorption portion, the refrigeration plant comprising:
- a) the compression portion having a condenser coupled to an evaporator, and a trough,
- b) the compression portion condenser having a heat exchanger located within the trough, the heat exchanger subjected to either cold water or cold air depending on a temperature of external air surrounding the refrigeration plant,
- c) a liquid receiving tank retaining a liquid source,
- d) a pump coupled between the receiving tank and the trough for supplying the liquid source from the receiving tank to the trough during high external air temperatures such that the heat exchanger is completely submerged with cold water, and
- e) a valve operated discharge device coupled between the receiving tank and the trough for expelling the liquid source from the trough and into the receiving tank during low external air temperatures so that the heat exchanger can be subjected to external cold air.
