4. Condenser

Refrigerant from two sources – (1) liquid resulting from 

the  condensing  of  vapor  produced  in  the  First-Stage 

Generator and (2) vapor produced by the Second- Stage 

Generator enters the Condenser. As the liquid refrigerant 

enters the low pressure of the condenser, it flashes to 

vapor. The two sources of refrigerant vapor combine and 

condense to liquid as they are cooled by the condenser 

water. The liquid then flows down to the Evaporator.

5.   Evaporator

Refrigerant liquid from the Condenser passes through a 

metering valve and flows down to the Refrigerant Pump, 

where it is pumped up the the top of the Evaporator. Here 

the liquid is sprayed out as a fine mist over the Evapora

-

tor tubes. Due to the extreme vacuum (6 mm Hg) in the 

Evaporator,  some  of  the  refrigerant  liquid  evaporator, 

creating the refrigerant effect. (This vacuum is created by 

hygroscopic action-the strong affinity LiBr has for water-in 

the Absorber directly below.)

The refrigerant effect cools the returning system chilled 

water in the Evaporator tubes. The refrigerant liquid/vapor 

picks up the heat of the returning chilled water, cooling it 

from 54°F (12.2°C) to 44°F (6.6°C). The chilled water is 

then supplied back to the system.

 6.  Absorber

As the refrigerant liquid/vapor descends to the Absorber 

from  the  Evaporator,  a  concentrated  solution  coming 

from the Heat Exchanger is sprayed out into the flow of 

descending refrigerant. The hygroscopic action between 

LiBr and water, and the related changes in concentration 

and  temperature,  result  in  the  creation  of  an  extreme 

vacuum in the Evaporator directly above. The dissolving 

of the LiBr in water gives off heat, which is removed by 

condenser water entering from the cooling tower at 85°F 

(29.4°C) and leaving form the Condenser at 92°F (33.3°C). 

The resultant dilute LiBr solution collects in the bottom of 

the Absorber, where it flows down to the Solution Pump.

The chilling cycle is now completed and begins again at
