Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018033418A1] The invention relates to an air-conditioning machine (1), comprising an evaporator structure (10) forming a heat-transmission surface (13) and a working medium reservoir (5) containing a working fluid (7), wherein the evaporator structure (10) has a coolant duct (11), characterised in that a bubble generation structure (2) is provided, wherein the bubble generation structure (2) is arranged in the region of the working medium reservoir (5) such that it can be at least partially flooded by the working fluid (7) and/or can be wetted with the working fluid (7), and wherein the evaporator structure (10) is arranged in a spraying region of the working fluid (7) in such a way that the heat transmission surface (13) can be wetted with a working fluid film (31) of working fluid (7) that is carried along by gas bubbles (8) which can be generated and/or introduced in the working fluid (7) by the bubble generation structure (2) and which are rising in the working fluid (7), wherein the bubble generation structure (2) has a fluid-guiding pipe (3) for generating the gas bubbles (8) by means of bulk boiling, and the fluid-guiding pipe (3) and the coolant duct (11) are arranged in series behind one another in a coolant circuit.
