Steam Jet Refrigeration System

Technical Description This interesting benchtop unit has a steam jet thermo compressor instead of a mechanical compressor, with the advantage that any heat source can be used to produce the steam that drives the process. The unit has a refrigerant circuit and a vapour circuit that are connected via a condenser and steam ejector. Both the evaporator and the steam generator are heated electrically. The evaporator and condenser are transparent so that the processes can be clearly observed. The steam generator can be operated with an external source of hot water instead of electrical heating. A special refrigerant is used at low pressure. A water supply is required..
