Author(s) : LODI A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

A new family of absorption machines has appeared recently on the European market, in the form of gas absorption heat pumps: new machines using an ammonia-water thermodynamic cycle and powered by a thermal source, typically combustion of methane or LPG. They can produce hot water for winter heating, with much higher efficiency than that of a condensing boiler, and cold water for summer air conditioning. They have been available on the market since 2004, and are suitable for small/medium size heating and cooling plants, built up from modular units, starting from 17 kW of cooling power and 35 kW of heating power.
