RECTIFIER FOR A GENERATOR OF REFRIGERANT VAPOUR FOR ABSORPTION THERMAL MACHINES, AND GENERATOR COMPRISING SUCH RECTIFIER

Rectifier (100) for a generator (200) of refrigerant vapour, said rectifier being adapted to modify the percentage of a refrigerant substance present in vapour flows (V) generated by boiling a liquid solution (L) comprising at least one absorbent substance and a refrigerant substance absorbed and characterized in that it comprises at least: • - a casing (101) which extends along a substantially vertical reference axis (X) and includes at least a first transversal duct (102) suitable for allowing the introduction of flows of said liquid solution (L) to be boiled; • - at least a first body (105) consisting of an open cell ceramic foam which is housed in said casing (101) below said first duct (102) so as to be crossed by flows of the liquid solution (L) to be boiled which, going downwards, wet its surfaces, and by vapour flows (V) generated by boiling which, going upwards, exchange heat with the solution itself which wets the surfaces of the first body (105), causing at the same time evaporation of refrigerant from the liquid solution (L) and the condensation of at least a part of the absorbent substance contained in said vapour streams (V) going upwards.
