The principle of refrigeration is the exchange of heat
and, in absorption liquid chilling, there are four basic
heat exchange surfaces: the evaporator, the absorber,
the generator, and the condenser. See
Like any refrigeration system, absorption chilling uses
evaporation and condensation to remove heat. The ab-
sorption cycle uses water as the refrigerant and lithium
bromide (LiBr) as the absorbent. The entire process oc-
curs in an almost complete vacuum.
CHILLER COMPONENTS
The absorption chiller consists of the following com-
ponents:
• evaporator
• absorber
• condenser
• generators
• solution heat exchangers to heighten the cycle
efficiency
• pumps to circulate the refrigerant and solution in
the cycle
• purge unit to remove non-condensable gas from
the machine
CONTROL PANEL
The absorption chiller comes with a factory mounted
and pre-wired control system. The control panel en-
closure is equipped with a hinged access door with
lock and key. The control panel includes a touch panel
showing all system parameters in various languages
with numeric data in metric units. For details of the
.
The unit is also equipped with two methods to start and
stop operations:
• touch panel
• external signal
