Please I would want to have the information to build this refrigeration device, like they can be plane and pictures. Also if it was possible they could tell me how the ammonia is loaded in the system. thank you mail hernandez2411@yahoo.com.mx Greetings.

In this device we can see the absortion refrigerator at work without the complicated ongoing cycle of heating and condensation: just two balloons, one piece of piping and one process. Very didactic.

The basic solution is an ammonia and water mix, which gets the ammonia boiled out of it by the heating process. This then condenses on the other side, and because of the water's affinity for ammonia will evaporate and migrate back into solution on the water side, chilling the ammonia reservoir side. The ribald commentary about icy balls I will studiously ignore, of course. Alan These actually work and work well.
