Abstract
Dans la présente invention, une unité d'élévation d'enthalpie qui élève l'enthalpie d'un fluide frigorigène s'écoulant dans une buse (20a) d'un éjecteur (20) est composée: d'un échangeur de chaleur interne côté buse (13) qui provoque un échange de chaleur entre un fluide frigorigène s'écoulant à partir d'un radiateur (12) et le fluide frigorigène s'écoulant dans la buse (20a) de l'éjecteur (20); et d'un échangeur de chaleur interne côté admission (17) qui provoque un échange de chaleur entre le fluide frigorigène évacué du radiateur (12) et un fluide frigorigène admis dans une ouverture d'admission de fluide frigorigène (20c) de l'éjecteur (20). Grâce à cette configuration, un fluide frigorigène pulvérisé à partir de la buse (20a) devient un fluide frigorigène en phase gazeuse surchauffée, et la quantité d'énergie récupérée est augmentée pour améliorer suffisamment le coefficient de performance du cycle de réfrigération à éjecteur (10).
