ABSTRACT:
An energy efficient cooling system for marine applications which makes use of phase change and non-phase change thermal storage mediums to provide refrigerating and freezing temperatures in insulated ice box(es) for the storage of perishable foods while also providing air conditioning to human occupied cabin spaces. The invention is particularly well suited for ocean-going long distance pleasurecraft where energy is in short supply and only sporadically available. Suitable power supplies for the system include electro-chemical storage batteries, wind generators, photovoltaics, internal combustion generators and auxiliary engine powering DC alternators. The invention uses a single primary cooling circuit (8) comprised of a single refrigeration compressor (9), sea water cooled condenser (10), sea water pump (11), receiver (12) and filter/dryer (16). A refrigerant liquid phase subcooling heat exchanger (13) is utilized to prevent the formation of flash gas in the liquid lines which are frequently quite long in shipboard installations. Also incorporated is a suction accumulator (14) to increase compressor (9) reliability by preventing liquid slugging.
