Operation and performance of a 350 kilowatt single-effect/double-lift absorption chiller in a district heating network.

Summary

A new type of multistage lithium bromide/water absorption chiller has been developed for the summertime operating conditions of district heating networks. It provides large cooling of the district heating water (some 30 K) and large cooling capacity per unit hot water mass flow. Two pilot plants of this novel absorption chiller were designed and have been operated since summer 1996 in the district heating networks of Berlin and Düsseldorf. The paper describes the concept, installation, and control strategy of the two pilot plants.
