Absorption Chillers

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 waste heat is available or where electric rates and/or demand charges are high.

  • Chilled water is produced using water as the refrigerant in place of ozone depleting chlorine-based compounds
  • Uses hot water as primary energy source
  • Electricity only required for pumps, controls
  • Hybrid chiller plants allows flexibility and optimization of energy costs
  • Permits base-loading of either absorption or electric chillers depending on energy prices
  • Cogeneration applications take advantage of waste heat often available in many facilities thus improving overall plant efficiency
  • High Reliability / Low Maintenance Cost
