1,120,691. Refrigerating. WORTHINGTON CORP. 31 Jan., 1966 [13 April, 1965], No. 4255/66. Heading F4H. In an absorption system using lithium bromide as absorbent and water as refrigerant, the generator is heated by low pressure steam which is passed from a steam header 110 through a tube bundle 44 in the generator to a condensate header 118 from which condensate makes a pass 44a through solution in the generator to cool the condensate to a temperature at which it will not flash on discharge to atmosphere. As illustrated, condensate from the pass 44a passes to a portion of the steam header formed by a partition 112 for discharge at 120. Baffles 104 in the generator cause solution to follow a sinuous path over the tube bundle from an inlet (38) to an outlet (46), Figs. 1 and 3 (not shown). In a modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), condensate from the partitioned portion of the steam header makes a second pass to a partitioned portion of the condensate header before discharge, and starshaped inserts (126) are included in the condensate passes (44b) to inhibit passage of steam. Operating temperatures and pressures are disclosed.
