Wildfeuer, R

A cooling system particularly suitable for use in the airconditioning of buildings is described. The system includes: (A) a cooling zone containing a conduit for cooling fluid, the conduit encountering the heat load, means in the conduit for propelling the fluid through the conduit, and cooling fluid in the conduit; (B) a refrigeration zone containing a closed refrigeration circuit for refrigerant, chiller means in the circuit for extracting energy from the refrigerant, means for circulating refrigerant in the circuit and refrigerant in the circuit; and (C) collection means connected to the refrigeration zone for removing energy extracted by the chiller. The cooling and refrigeration zones are connectable through a heat exchanger for transfer of energy between the fluid and the refrigerant and the refrigerant comprises a slurry of ice and water which may be partly stored in a reservoir constituting part of the refrigeration zone. In this system, a reserve cooling capacity can be stored in the reservoir for use during cyclic requirements therefor.
