Combined marine refrigerating and air conditioning system using thermal storage
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6242154
A refrigerating and air conditioning system is described for a marine vessel which comprises: (a) a single compressor means to create a pressure differential in the refrigerant gas, and (b) a water cooled condenser to cause the pressurized refrigerant gas to liquify, and (c) a receiver to store liquidized refrigerant gas, and (d) a heat transfer means to transfer heat from the liquified refrigerant at a higher pressure to the gaseous refrigerant at a lower pressure, and (e) a means to remove moisture and particulate matter from the circulating refrigerant, and (f) a liquid refrigerant distribution means to cause liquid refrigerant to flow in a controlled manner through any one of a plurality of circuits into expansion valves supplying a metered flow of refrigerant to refrigerating and air conditioning evaporator coils with such, (g) refrigerating evaporator coils enclosed in a sealed container and surrounded by a liquid storing medium from which heat can be extracted causing the liquid to solidify and to which heat can be added causing the solidified medium to liquify with little rise in temperature and, such (h) air conditioning evaporator coils positioned so that air pressurized by a blower shall flow over them enabling heat to be removed from the passing air into the evaporating refrigerant, and (i) a means to remove liquid refrigerant from gaseous refrigerant flowing from the evaporators to the compressor.
