How Does An Absorption Fridge Work

Ben steps it up here, with some technical information on the workings of an absorption fridge. This short video explains what an absorption fridge is and how it works.

I have been wondering how my fridge could be so silent, now I understand, cheers.

[@timevans815]

Thanks mate.Question, fridge was subject to minus 3c for couple days when not in use, now it stopped working.Ny ideas or hacks to get it up and running? Cheers mate.

Great video. In an older fridge, how long do they take to chill on mains?

[@yelapaangel]

Best explained video for my gas fridge. Thank you!

[@MrUkinekk]

Thanks for the video, very informative! Just out of curiosity do you know the model number and capacity for this particular fridge? Thanks in advance!

[@Pieh0]

"Water AND chemicals" 🤣 Seriously though, good video explaining how it all works :).

Hi, how am I from Argentina? I wanted to know if you have the proportions of loading and how to do it, thank you very much and your video is very good

[@larryandfreedom1224]

Hi I have replaced my old fridge with another rm2350. An I wondering we're on the fridge eg condenser fins. I can make sure 100% its level when I install it .

Do you have video of lithium bromide absorption refrigerator?

[@wheat041]

thanks for videos they are very usefull for a new person to caravaning

[@oscaralameddine4161]

Great video

1:17 celsius or Fahrenheit. that's one of my pet peeves to not state which one. 2:35 ok, provided with this context, i can tell he's using Celsius.

You might aswell adopt the pet because your peeve ain't going away!

great video mate xx

Can you keep meat in an absorption fridge?

[@TheRojo387]

Why is hydrogen needed in particular? Won't nitrogen work just as well?

[@searlesrvcentre]

Hi Rohan, That's a question for a chemist. You might be onto a new fridge!

[@NorfolkBroadsForum]

Interesting but still don't get how it causes cold condensing

[@searlesrvcentre]

Cold is created by removing the heat. Opposite to a compressor fridge that generates cold. Maybe try googling more technical info. Thanks for watching

[@anmolagarwal6132]

Sir can u explain how we kept hydrogen locked in that system in that portion only

[@dalehodge5629]

Hi Anmol, I do not get involved in the manufacturing. Questions relating to manufacturing i suggest you google Dometic technical assistance.

[@maradeb]

Why does my unit heat way up but doesn't cool? The temps inside just get hotter.

[@Bundyrvs]

Hi Maradeb, Sounds like the liquid mixture that heats and cools the fridge has leaked out. You would have smelt the ammonium. If that is the case you will need a new fridge.

[@petlof64]

@@Bundyrvs I have the same problem as maradeb, but I´m sure I have liquid cause I can hear it inside the tubes. Can the ammomium has left and the water be left in the system?

[@gpetheri]

Ammonium?

[@paulthompson1654]

hi start at boiler with ammonia and water from absorber goes thru separator water drops back down to top of absorber coils via double in/outside tubes .......[ the moisture drop downwards via absorber top separator tubes back to absorber tank ] ammonia is now highly concentrated gas thru condenser now liquid mixed with hydrogen enter low temp evaporater freezer enters high temp fridge now its a week ammonia mix Above mix falls into absorber and starts to separate Hydrogen rises to continue process via absorber separator dimpled tube to connection at evap coil IN - ----The excess boil off above boiler returns to absorb tank via connection at top of absorber separator tubes ***absorber seperator tubes are clever the Hydrogen is travelling up to start cycle again and the water is flowing down at the same time back to absorber to begin its cycle again. As the water passes its cleaning the hydrogen of sucking out any ammonia remaining .

Bombas spent two years developing a sock without a toe seam. I'm in the wrong racket.

[@elizabethwinsor-strumpetqueen]

I take it the degrees are Centigrade ....

[@alibabaei1953]

Why would no one manufactures an air conditioner that has a mechanism like this, i want an air conditioner that runs silent and doesn't need batteries or solar or a noisy honda generator.
