%0 Journal Article %T The perspectives of using sorption refrigerating installations in the small waterway tonnage %A Rudenko Mikhail Fedorovich %J Vestnik of Astrakhan State Technical University. Series: Marine Engineering and Technologies %D 2009 %I Astrakhan State Technical University %X The investigated installations are easy to produce and to operate. The installations work with the energy of hot gases of diesel engine's fuel. Solid sorbent and ammonia are used there as working substances. The workbench has been developed and the absorbing ability of ammonia in 3 working pairs: calcium chloride (CaCl2) 每 ammonia, vermiculite with 59 % calcium chloride 每 ammonia, vermiculite with 60 % barium chloride 每 ammonia in bulk weight and reinforced gauze calcium chloride 每 ammonia has been examined. Absorption temperature curves at constant pressure reveal the efficiency of using vermiculite with 59 % calcium chloride 每 ammonia in the marine sorption installations. The equations of absorption kinetics are received. Sorption refrigerating installations can be ef-fectively used at the marine vessels to store fish products during 2每3 days of transporting. %K ship refrigerating installations %K refrigerant %K ammonia %K sorbents %K calcium chloride %K vermiculite with 59 % calcium chloride %K vermiculite with 60 % barium chloride %K the equations of absorption kinetics. %U http://astu.org/content/userimages/file/sea_2_2009/22.pdf
