Cooling station as a central hydraulic circuit and distribution system for sorption machines

Abstract

The invention relates to a distributor device that can be connected to a sorption machine and can be used with the sorption machine for the hydraulic and/or electric connection of different components. Said device comprises at least one pump (1) and components for driving, measuring, heat-exchanging, controlling and/or regulating a driving, recooling, heating and/or cooling circuit of the sorption machine.

1 . A distributor device for sorption machines, comprising:
 connections for a hydraulic and/or electrical connection of various components to a sorption machine and   a housing and/or frame, wherein   the device is arranged in or on the housing or frame and for an operation with the sorption machine is connected thereto via pipes, lines, hoses and/or cables, and has at least one pump and further components for driving, pumping, heat-exchanging, measuring, controlling and/or regulating a drive circuit, recooling circuit, heat circuit and/or refrigeration circuit of the sorption machine or is prepared for a installation thereof.   
     
     
         2 . The distributor device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one mixer is integrated into the distributor device. 
     
     
         3 . The distributor device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one pipe, line and/or hose coming from the sorption machine, originating from a circuit of the sorption machine, comprising the recooling circuit, the refrigeration circuit and/or the drive circuit, is connected to the distributor device for an operation with the sorption machine. 
     
     
         4 . The distributor device according to  claim 1 , wherein components comprise pumps, volumetric flow rate displays, temperature displays, expansion tanks, safety devices, filling and emptying devices and similar components. 
     
     
         5 . The distributor device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one valve comprising stop cock, line regulating valve, three-way valve or multiway valve and/or safety valve, is integrated into the distributor device. 
     
     
         6 . The distributor device according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing or the frame is produced from a material comprising metal or plastic. 
     
     
         7 . The distributor device according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing or the frame is attached on a horizontal or vertical plane or a stand and is either ground-mounted, wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted or installed on other components. 
     
     
         8 . The distributor device according to  claim 1 , wherein an operating and/or display device and/or connections for the-hydraulic and/or electrical components are arranged on the housing. 
     
     
         9 . The distributor device according to  claim 1 , wherein the distributor device is integrated into a housing of the sorption machine and/or is connected thereto. 
     
     
         10 . A method for interconnecting hydraulic and/or electrical components with a sorption machine comprising:
 providing the distributor device according to  claim 1  and interconnecting hydraulic and/or electrical components with the sorption machine.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein there is a connection between lines of the circuits and fluid flows and energy flows between the lines exist or can be exchanged. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a shift between the lines can take place and connected components, with different circuits of the sorption machine comprising the drive circuit, recooling circuit and/or refrigerating circuit, are connected to the sorption machine.
