PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve the miniaturization of an evaporator and the facilitation of extraction of cold out of the evaporator, in a refrigerating system utilizing the phase change of water.
SOLUTION: In a refrigerating system 10, an evaporator 11 and a condenser 15 are constituted of a vessel member. The inside of the vessel members is defined by permeable films 14, 18 into liquid side spaces 12, 16 and gas side spaces 13, 17. Both of the gas side spaces 13, 17 are maintained in a predetermined evacuated condition. Both of the liquid side spaces 12, 16 are maintained in an atmospheric pressure condition. When vapor, evaporated in the liquid side space 12 of the evaporator 11 is permeated through the permeable film 14 and is moved into the gas side space 13. The water vapor of the gas side space 13 is sucked by a compressor 21 and is sent into the gas side space 17 of the condenser 15. In the condenser 15, steam in the gas side space 17 is moved into the liquid side space 16 and is condensed.

An air conditioning system that includes desiccant compartments for holding a desiccant; a heat exchanger, a blower and a vessel. The heat exchanger can be filled with a heat transfer medium, while the blower blows ambient air by the heat exchanger such that the blown air is cooled and the heat exchanger is warmed such that thermal energy increases and is transferred from the air to the heat transfer medium causing the heat transfer medium to turn into vapor. The vapor is then diffused to one of the desiccant compartments such that the vapor is adsorbed onto the desiccant creating a mixture. Then an energy source is applied to the mixture such that the vapor and desiccant are separated. The separated vapor is transported to the vessel where it is condensed and then sent back to the heat exchanger, such that the system is able to be continuously operating. |
