SINGLE-EFFECT STEAM-FIRED ABSORPTION CHILLER

100 to 700 Nominal Tons

Single-effect absorption chillers are commonly installed in large capacity comfort cooling applications that are also served by centrifugal or screw chillers such as office buildings, hospitals and universities as well as manufacturing facilities and light industrial process cooling. They are also often used in hybrid plant applications, which involve both electric and absorption chillers, and are an ideal choice where electric rates and/or demand charges are high. Double effect chillers use two stages of lithium bromide solution reconcentration versus one stage for a single effect machine, which increases efficiency and reduces energy consumption accordingly.

Standard Features:

• Environmentally Sound: Chilled water is produced using water as the refrigerant in place of ozone depleting chlorine-based compounds.
• Alternative Energy Use: Uses high-pressure steam as primary energy source. Electricity only required for pumps, controls.
• Application Flexibility: Hybrid chiller plants allows flexibility and optimization of energy cost.
• High Reliability / Low Maintenance Cost: Few moving parts equates to inherent high reliability as well as lower maintenance costs.
• Low Sound & Vibration: No large rotating mass means less noise and vibration allowing installation on upper floors or in sound sensitive areas.
