What is a double-effect absorption chiller?

Absorption Chiller Description Double-effect absorption chillers have two generator/concentrators and the vaporized refrigerant from the high temperature generator/concentrator is the thermal source for the low temperature generator/concentrator, reducing the cooling requirement for the vaporized refrigerant.

What is direct fired absorption chiller?

Direct-fired absorption chillers can be used as a primary component for hybrid plants or other applications where electrical demand and consumption are expensive or in short supply. All sizes can act as a chiller and/or heater to supply cold or hot water to condition the building during the summer or winter.

Does an absorption chiller need a cooling tower?

The absorption process is exothermic (i.e., it generates heat), and heat must be rejected from the absorber to the condenser water and cooling tower loop. Because of this additional heat rejection load, absorption chillers require a larger cooling tower compared to a mechanical chiller with the same capacity.

What are the two basic categories of chillers?

Chillers fall under two main categories: vapor compression and vapor absorption chillers. vapor compression chillers use an electrically driven mechanical compressor to force a refrigerant around the system while vapor absorption chillers use heat to move the refrigerant around the system.

What are the benefits of double effect chillers?

The high efficiency associated with double-effect chillers results in a reduction of the required installation space Auto-diagnosis system monitors operating conditions, predicts chiller information and maintains stable operation Absorption pump with inverter control for efficient, energy saving operation

How big is a 16nk absorption chiller carrier?

The 16NK absorption chillers are designed for cooling applications where low-pressure steam is available as waste heat. Eighteen sizes with nominal cooling capacities from 340 to 4 700 kW

What do carrier chillers do for waste heat?

Carrier absorption chillers are designed to provide chilled water from waste heat sources generated from industrial processes and co-generation systems.
