Hot Water Absorption Chiller

General Description:

The hot water type LiBr absorption chiller is a hot water powered refrigeration unit. It adopts the aqueous solution of lithium bromide (LiBr) as a cycling working medium. The LiBr solution works as an absorbent and water as a refrigerant.

The chiller comprises primarily the generator, condenser, evaporator, absorber, heat exchanger, auto purge device, vacuum pump and canned pump.

Working principle: The refrigerant water in the evaporator evaporates away from the surface of the heat conducting tube. As heat in the chilled water is taken away from the tube, the water temperature drops and cooling is generated. The refrigerant vapor evaporated from the evaporator is absorbed by the concentrated solution in absorber and therefore the solution is diluted. The diluted solution in absorber is then delivered by the solution pump to the heat exchanger, where the solution is heated and the solution temperature rises. Then the diluted solution is delivered to the generator, where it is heated by hot water to produce refrigerant vapor. Then the solution becomes a concentrated solution. After releasing heat in the heat exchanger, the temperature of the concentrated solution drops. The concentrated solution then enters the absorber, where it absorbs the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator, becomes a diluted solution and enters the next cycle. The refrigerant vapor generated by the generator is cooled in the condenser and become refrigerant water, which is further depressurized by throttle valve or U-type tube and delivered to the evaporator. After the evaporation & refrigeration process, the refrigerant vapor enters the next cycle.

The aforesaid cycle occurs repeatedly to form a continuous refrigeration process.

CHILLER FEATURES

1.Interlock mechanical & electrical anti-freezing system: multi anti-freezing protection
The coordinated anti-freezing system features following merits: a lowered primary sprayer design for the evaporator, an interlock mechanism which links the secondary sprayer of evaporator with the supply of chilled water and cooling water, a pipe blockage prevention device, a two-hierachy chilled water flow switch, an interlock mechanism designed for the chilled water pump and cooling water pump. Six levels anti freezing design ensures timely detection of break, underflow, low temperature of chilled water, automatic actions will be taken to prevent tube freezing. The system is essential for maintaining the absorption chiller service in optimal condition.

2.Auto purge system combining muti-ejector&fall-head technology: speedy vacuum purging and high vacuum degree maintenance
This is a new, high efficiency automatic air purge system. The ejector functions as a small air extraction pump. DEEPBLUE automatic air purge system adopts multiple ejectors to increase the air extraction and purge rate of chiller. Water head design can help to evaluate vacuum limits and maintain a high vacuum degree. The design with features rapidly and highness can provide a high vacuum degree for every part of chiller at any time. Therefore, oxygen corrosion is precluded, service life time is prolonged and optimal operating status is maintained for chiller. Therefore, oxygen corrosion is precluded, the service life is prolonged, and optimal operating status is maintained for the absorption chiller service.

3.Simple and reliable system pipe design: easy operation and reliable quality
Maintainable structure design: spray plate in absorber and spray nozzle in evaporator are replaceable. Ensure capacity will not drop in lifespan. No solution regulation valve, refrigerant spray valve and high pressure refrigerant valve, so the leakage points are less, and unit can keep stable operation without manual regulation. This contributes to the long-term reliability of the absorption chiller service.

4.Automatic anti-crystallization system combining potential difference-based dilution and crystal dissolution: eliminate crystallization
A self-contained temperature & potential difference detection system enables chiller to monitor excessively high concentration of the concentrated solution. On one hand upon detecting an overly high concentration the chiller automatically feeds refrigerant water to concentrated solution for dilution, on the other hand, the chiller utilizes HT LiBr solution in generator to heat concentrated solution to a higher temperature. In the event of a sudden power failure or abnormal shutdown, potential difference-based dilution system will start rapidly to dilute LiBr solution and to ensure rapid dilution after power supply recovers. This contributes to the long-term reliability of the absorption chiller service.

5.Tube broken alarm device
When the heat exchange tubes broke in hot water absorption chiller at abnormal condition, control system send out an alarm to remind operator to take actions, reduce damage.

6.Self-adaptive refrigerant storage unit: improving part load performance and shortening startup/shutdown time.
The refrigerant water storage capacity can be automatically adjusted according to external load changes, particularly when the hot water absorption chiller works under partial load. The adoption of refrigerant storage device can shorten startup/shutdown time substantially and reduce idle work.

7.Economizer: energy output boosting
Isooctanol with a conventional chemical structure as an energy boosting agent added to LiBr solution, is normally an insoluble chemical that has only a limited energy boosting effect. The economizer can prepare mixture of isooctanol and LiBr solution in a special way to guide isooctanol into generation and absorption process, therefore enhancing energy boosting effect, effectively reducing energy consumption and realizing energy efficiency.

8.Integral sintered sight glass: a powerful guarantee for high vacuum performance
The leakage rate of the whole unit is lower than 2.03X10-9 Pa.m3 /S , Which is 3 grade higher than national standard, can ensure unit's lifespan.
Unique surface treatment for heat exchange tubes: high performance in heat exchanging & less energy consumption
The evaporator and absorber have been hydrophilic treated to ensure even liquid film distribution on tube surface. This design can improve heat exchange effect and lower energy consumption.

9.Li2MoO4 Corrosion inhibitor: an environment –friendly corrosion inhibitor
Lithium Molybate (Li2MoO4), an environment-friendly corrosion inhibitor, is used to replace Li2CrO4 (Containing heavy metals) during the preparation of LiBr solution.

10.Frequency control operation: an energy-saving technology
Chiller can adjust its operation automatically and maintain optimal working according to different cooling load.

11.Plate heat exchanger: saving more than 10% energy
A stainless corrugated steel plate heat exchanger is adopted. This type of plate heat exchanger has a very sound effect, a high heat recovery rate and remarkable energy saving performance. Meanwhile, the stainless steel plate has a service life of over 20 years, contributing to the overall sustainability of the absorption chiller service.

MODEL SELECTION

Chilled Water Outlet Temperature
Besides the specified Chilled water outlet temperature of a standard chiller, other outlet temperature values (min -2℃) may also be selected.

Pressure Bearing Requirements
The design pressure bearing standard capacity of the Chilled water/cooling water system of the chiller is 0.8MPa. If the actual pressure of the water system exceeds this standard value, a HP-type chiller should be used.

Unit QTY
If more than one unit is used, the unit's QTY should be determined by comprehensive consideration of max load, partial load, maintenance period as well as machine room's size.

Control Mode
The Hot water absorption chiller is supported by an Al (artificial intelligence) control system that enables automatic operation. Meanwhile, there are a number of options available for the customers, such as control interfaces for the Chilled water pump, cooling water pump, cooling tower fan & buildings, centralized control system and internet access.
