Absorbery

Absorption chiller

Absorption chiller driven by hot water from waste heat Yazaki gas driven DOUBLE-EFFECT chiller-heaters, with cooling capacities of 30 to 100 tons of refrigeration, are designed for commercial applications where chilled and hot water is used in a central air conditioning system. The condenser is water cooled and, during the cooling operation, heat is rejected through a cooling tower.

Absorption principal

The Yazaki absorption chiller-heater uses a solution of lithium bromide and water, under a vacuum, as the working fluid. Water is the refrigerant and lithium bromide is the absorbent. The double-effect absorption cycle has two generators - one directly heated by a gas burner and the other heated by hot refrigerant vapor. The refrigerant, liberated by heat from the solution, produces a refrigerating effect in the evaporator when cooling water is circulated through the condenser and absorber.
