R852 Vapour Jet Refrigerator/Heat Pump
A bench top example of a refrigerator/heat pump that is driven by a heat source. The unit operates on a combined Rankine and vapour compression refrigeration cycle using a low pressure, non-toxic ozone friendly refrigerant. A simple ejector (or thermo-compressor) performs the expansion and compression processes involved in the combined cycles. A small electric motor drives the pump of the Rankine cycle. The heat source is electrically heated and produces high pressure vapour to drive the ejector.
Supplied in standard form with an electric heat source, an optional set of Solar Panels and Installation Package (F820S) is available to demonstrate the generation of a refrigerating effect directly from solar radiation.
