Operating principle of the water absorption chiller
Put simply, an absorption chiller is a device that uses thermodynamic and physicochemical processes to produce cold from heat.
In an absorption chiller, we use thermal energy instead of electricity. This can be energy stored in steam, flue gases or hot water. This transformation of heat into cooling is possible thanks to the special design of the unit and the use of water as the refrigerant and a lithium bromide solution as the absorbent. A vacuum is maintained inside the chiller, making the thermodynamic processes highly efficient.
The principle of operation of the water absorption chiller
CES supplies water chillers. In this type of chiller, the source of thermal energy is hot water, which is generated during a technological process or is a by-product of the production process. The unit consists of four main components: a generator, a condenser, an evaporator and an absorber.
How the cold generated in the absorption unit can be used
The coolness produced from the heat in the absorption unit can be used according to current needs, e.g. in technological processes, air conditioning, etc. Absorption units can be installed on their own, as an alternative to compressor solutions, or as part of trigeneration or polygeneration systems producing electricity, heat, cold and/or process steam.
