IIR documentSummary
The current technological breakthrough in developing cost-effective water vapour compressors has opened the way to full-scale implementation of refrigeration technology using water vapour as a refrigerant. The process applied to obtaining chilled water and vacuum ice could not be implemented until a range of components was developed. This goal has now been met. Ice is produced in a vacuum ice machine that utilizes a two-stage compression system to condense water vapour directly without using a heat transfer surface. No secondary refrigerants are required. Two plants (Gold Mines in South Africa and Lego installation in Denmark) involved in totally different commercial fields, provide the first examples in refrigeration history of the application of water vapour as an effective refrigerant.
