Summary

This paper presents the design and construction of a prototype steam ejector refrigeration system which can be operated under the actual condition of Thai environment, which is rather hot and humid. The prototype refrigerator was designed to produce a cooling capacity of approximately 3 kW. Water was selected to be used as the working fluid. The steam boiler used was a vertical fire tube type and it was designed to be used with LPG compact gas burner. The condenser was cooled by water obtained from a conventional cooling tower. The prototype refrigerator was used to produce chilled water which was used to cool a small tested room. It was observed that the room temperature of 24.2°C was obtained at the cooling load of 3000 W. The cooling water was supplied to the condenser at about 30°C. The COP obtained was 0.45. This prototype refrigerator is proven to be practical and can be used in actual environment of Thailand.
