An absorption apparatus comprising a housing and an absorber contained within the housing for producing a strong refrigerant solution. A generator refrigerant reservoir is situated in the bottom of the housing for producing a rising refrigerant vapor. A condensor is situated in the top of the housing for condensing the refrigerant vapor into a refrigerant liquid. An evaporator is disposed underneath the condensor in the housing for receiving the refrigerant liquid from the condensor and vaporizing the same to create a refrigerant effect. The absorption apparatus additionally comprises a pump for pumping the strong refrigerant solution from the absorber to the generator refrigerant reservoir. A process for producing a refrigerant effect within a housing comprising producing a strong refrigerant solution by an absorber contained within the housing, and also producing a rising refrigerant vapor from a generator refrigerant reservoir positioned within the housing. The process also comprises condensing the refrigerant vapor into a refrigerant liquid by a condensor situated within the housing; vaporizing the refrigerant liquid by an evaporator disposed within the housing to produce the refrigerant effect; and pumping the strong refrigerant solution to the generator refrigerant reservoir. An absorbent-refrigerant solution containing a promoter which enhances the vapor absorbent properties of the absorbent-refrigerant. A process for manufacturing an absorption apparatus.
