Optimizing absorption chillers.

Author(s) : MECKLER M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Triple-effect or even four-effect direct-fired absorption (DFA) chillers are unlikely to find support in the US utility marketplace because of their high first-cost premiums and oversized footprints. Furthermore, chilled water temperature difference is reduced and piping is increased. Describes how, by integrating a novel design feature - the vapour recompression absorber, powered by a relatively small electric motor within a conventional DFA chiller cycle - a hybrid dual-absorber cycle is achieved with lower first costs and smaller footprints.
