Abstract
Abstract An absorption refrigeration system having an absorption refrigeration cycle which is formed by connecting a plurality of absorbers, a regenerator, a condenser and an evaporator with one another by means of pipes; the absorption refrigeration system comprising ejectors for bleeding a noncondensing gas accumulated in each of the absorbers and a noncondensing gas tank for storing the noncondensing gas which is bled therein, both of which are provided for each absorber.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
An absorption refrigeration system comprising: an absorption refrigeration cycle, which is formed by connecting a plurality of absorbers, a regenerator, a condenser and an evaporator with one another by means of pipes; a plurality of noncondensing gas bleeding portions, each said portion being connected for bleeding noncondensing gas accumulated in a respective one of said plurality of absorbers; and a respective noncondensing gas tank connected to each of said bleeding portions for storing the noncondensing gas which is bled from the associated absorber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
An absorption refrigeration system comprising: an absorption refrigeration cycle, which is formed by connecting a plurality of absorbers, a regenerator, a condenser and an evaporator with one another by means of pipes; a plurality of noncondensing gas bleeding portions, each said portion being connected for bleeding noncondensing gas accumulated in a respective one of said plurality of absorbers; and a respective noncondensing gas tank connected to each of said bleeding portions for storing the noncondensing gas which is bled from the associated absorber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
95 words
An absorption refrigeration system according to claim 1, wherein each said noncondensing gas bleeding portion includes an ejector having a nozzle, a suction chamber and a stream-down tube, a bleeding pipe extending from a top portion of the associated absorber to the suction chamber, and an absorption liquid feed pipe extending from a bottom portion of the absorber to the nozzle through an absorption liquid pump for pressurizing and supplying an absorption liquid in the absorber to the nozzle, said ejector sucking and bleeding the noncondensing gas accumulated in the absorber into the suction chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
An absorption refrigeration system according to claim 2, wherein each said noncondensing gas tank is provided with a reservoir for storing the noncondensing gas bled through the bleeding pipe and the ejector, the reservoir having a separation portion for separating the noncondensing gas from the absorption liquid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
An absorption refrigeration system according to claim 3, wherein an absorption liquid return pipe extends from the separation portion of the reservoir to the associated absorber for returning refrigerant liquid, which is condensed and separated in the separation portion, to the absorber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
86 words
An absorption refrigeration system comprising: absorption refrigeration cycle, which is formed by connecting a plurality of absorbers, a regenerator, a condenser and an evaporator with one another by means of pipes; a plurality of noncondensing gas bleeding portions, each said portion being connected for bleeding noncondensing gas accumulated in a respective one of said plurality of absorbers and said condenser; a respective noncondensing gas tank connected to each of said bleeding portions for storing the noncondensing gas which is bled from the associated absorber and condenser.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
86 words
An absorption refrigeration system comprising: absorption refrigeration cycle, which is formed by connecting a plurality of absorbers, a regenerator, a condenser and an evaporator with one another by means of pipes; a plurality of noncondensing gas bleeding portions, each said portion being connected for bleeding noncondensing gas accumulated in a respective one of said plurality of absorbers and said condenser; a respective noncondensing gas tank connected to each of said bleeding portions for storing the noncondensing gas which is bled from the associated absorber and condenser.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
118 words
An absorption refrigeration system according to claim 5, wherein each said noncondensing gas bleeding portion includes an ejector having a nozzle, a suction chamber and a stream-down tube, a bleeding pipe extending from a top portion of each absorber to the suction chamber of the associated bleeding portion, another bleeding pipe extending from the condenser to the suction chamber of the associated bleeding portion, an absorption liquid feed pipe extending from a bottom portion of the absorber to the nozzle through an absorption liquid pump for pressurizing and supplying an absorption liquid in the absorber to the nozzle, said ejector sucking and bleeding the noncondensing gas stored in the associated absorbers and the condenser into each suction chamber.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
47 words
An absorption refrigeration system according to claim 6, wherein each said noncondensing gas tank is provided with a reservoir for storing the noncondensing gas bled through the bleeding pipe and the ejector, the reservoir having a separation portion for separating the noncondensing gas from the absorption liquid.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
42 words
An absorption refrigeration system according to claim 7, wherein an absorption liquid return pipe extends from the separation portion of the absorber to the associated absorber for returning refrigerant liquid, which is condensed and separated in the separation portion, to the absorber.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
33 words
An absorption refrigeration system according to claim 5, further comprising a pressure equalizer provided between the noncondensing gas tank provided for one said absorber and the noncondensing gas tank provided for said condenser.
