Idea of the Cycle:

Steam forming as saturated water expands in expansion valve 1

from pressure P1 to P2 flows into evaporator 2 arranged inside
the chilled volume. From the evaporator steam with a high
dryness factor and at the pressure P2 is directed into the
combining chamber of the ejector 3. Operating steam is
delivered to the ejector nozzle from boiler 4 at a pressure Pboil.
The rates of steam flow into the ejector combining chamber
from the evaporator and into the ejector nozzle from the boiler
and selected such that steam leave the ejector diffuser at a
pressure P1. From the ejector the dry saturated steam flows to
condenser 5 where it condensate at a pressure P1 splits into two
streams a greater portion of the water flows into the refrigerating
circuit to the inlet of expansion valve 1 while a smaller portion
flows to feed pump 6 in which water pressure is raised to Pboil
the pump delivers the water to boiler 4.
 3-Absorption Refrigeration System:

With the application of heat at the generator, ammonia vapor is

driven from the solution. This hot vapor rises into the separator
and a portion of the water condenses and flows by gravity into
the absorber. The hot ammonia vapor continues to rise into the
condenser where it gives up its heat to the surrounding air and
condenses into a liquid. The liquid ammonia enters by gravity
into the evaporator, where it is mixed with hydrogen gas.
Circulation of hydrogen gas causes a reduction in pressure
within the evaporator. The low pressure causes the ammonia
liquid to boil into a gas (evaporating) and absorbing heat in the
process (refrigerating effect). The mixture of
hydrogen/ammonia vapor that’s carrying the absorbed heat is
now drawn by gravity into-the absorber. Because the water
from the separator has a greater affinity for ammonia, it
separates from the hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas being very
light rises and returns to the generator to start the cycle again.

5- Thermo-Electrical Refrigeration Systems:

Sebeck-Effect:

The seebeck effect occurs when you take any two members of
the thermoelectric series and connect wires made of them to
form a circuit with two junctions. In the presence of a
temperature difference between the junctions a small current
flows around the circuit.

Peltier-Effect:

The peltier effect occurs when you take any two members of the
thermoelectric series and connect wires made of them to form a
circuit with two junctions. In the presence of a current a
temperature difference between the junctions is produced.
