Summary

Kawasaki Thermal Engineering (KTE) participated in the government-led project on "High Performance Development Triple-effect Absorption Chiller/heaters" to realise higher efficiency than the maxed-out efficiency of double-effect chiller/heaters for further energy saving, an urgent matter for global environmental protection. KTE has successfully commercialised a triple-effect efficient absorption chiller/heater. The newly commercialised triple-effect machine has considerably high energy-saving performance, with a part-load COP in reaching 1.7, based on the upper calorific value of the fuel gas. Thanks to a newly developed high-temperature generator, the triple-effect machine demonstrates the same durability and reliability under higher temperature and pressure as the double-effect machine.
