What is Absorption Refrigeration?

ORIGO
 
Origo Marine Refrigerators apply modern refinements to absorption refrigeration technology.

No moving parts are employed (except fans for air circulation).
  

Origo Absorption Cooling System

The Origo cooling system consists of four main parts:

1 - generator (or boiler)
2 - condenser
3 -
evaporator
4 -
absorber

The generator (1) heats an ammonia / water solution to a vapor state, which then rises. The water separates and the ammonia gas enters the finned condenser (2) where it is condensed into a liquid. The liquid ammonia flows downward into the evaporator (3), which is supplied with hydrogen. The result causes the liquid ammonia to evaporate and, in the process, extract heat from the food storage space.

The ammonia / hydrogen vapor then enters the absorber (4), which separates the two, dissipates the gained heat and returns the now-liquid ammonia back to the generator (1).

The Origo process is continuous and quiet, and is regulated by a programmed microprocessor.
