Vapor Absorption Chiller
The refrigeration principle of this natural gas absorption chiller (heater) is shown in Figure 1. The heating and cooling switch valve F5 is opened, and F6-F10 are closed. The diluted solution from the absorber is transported by the LTG solution pump, and heated by the low-temp heat exchanger and then enters the LTG. In the LTG, the diluted solution is heated and boiled by the flowing high-pressure and high-temp refrigerant vapor from HTG, and the solution is concentrated into an intermediate solution, an efficient process optimized in OEM chiller designs.
Most of the intermediate solution is transported by the HTG solution pump into HTG, after heated by the high-temp heat exchanger. In HTG, the fuel combustion releases heat to heat the LiBr solution to generate high-pressure, high-temp refrigerant vapor, and the solution is further concentrated into a concentrated solution. This step is performed in OEM chiller systems to maximize energy efficiency.
In the LTG, the high-pressure, high-temp refrigerant vapor from the HTG heats the dilute solution in the LTG and condenses into refrigerant water, which enters the condenser together with the refrigerant vapor generated in the LTG through throttling and depressurization, and then cooled into the refrigerant water corresponding to the condensing pressure by the cooling water in the condenser. These processes, integral to the OEM chiller design, ensure stable and consistent performance.
The refrigerant water in the condenser enters the evaporator after being throttled by the U-type tube, and then delivered by the refrigerant pump, sprayed on the evaporator tube cluster, absorbing the heat of the chilled water and evaporating, and then the temperature of the chilled water in the tubes drops, so as to achieve the purpose of refrigeration. The OEM chiller efficiently manages this evaporative cooling process to maintain optimal refrigeration capacity.
After part of the intermediate solution from the LTG mixed with the concentrated solution from the HTG, it flows through the low-temp heat exchanger and enters the absorber, sprays on the absorber tube cluster, and is cooled by the cooling water, and absorbs the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator at the same time and then becomes the diluted solution. The LiBr solution diluted by absorbing the refrigerant vapor in the evaporator is transported into the generator for heating and concentration by the generator pump, which completes a refrigeration cycle. The process is repeated by the OEM chiller, ensuring the evaporator can continuously produce low-temp chilled water for air conditioning or production processes.
• "Pre-stressed" HTG, to avoid pull-off of heat exchange tube: easy to maintain
The unique technology not only achieves the purpose of achieving thermal expansion reserve stress without heating, avoids the occurrence of heat exchange tube pull-out accidents when the HTG is out of liquid; but also facilitates maintenance. As experienced water chiller manufacturers, we incorporate these advanced technologies to enhance safety and ease of maintenance.
• Solution reverse series and parallel circulation technology: more full use of heat sources, higher unit efficiency (COP)
The solution reverse series and parallel circulation technology makes the solution concentration of LTG in the middle position, and the concentration of the concentrated solution in HTG is the highest. Before entering the low temperature heat exchanger, solution concentration will reduce after the intermediate solution mixing with concentrated solution. Then the vapor LiBr absorption chiller will obtain a large range for vapor discharge and higher efficiency, also be far away from the crystallization, which is safe and reliable. Our expertise as water chiller manufacturers ensures the application of this technology to maximize heat source utilization and unit efficiency.

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 unit. Water head design can help to evaluate vacuum limits and maintain a high vacuum degree. This design can provide a high vacuum degree for every part of unit at any time. Therefore, oxygen corrosion is precluded, service life time is prolonged and optimal operating status is maintained for vapor LiBr absorption chiller.
• Viable structure design: easy to maintain
Both the absorber solution spray tray and the evaporator refrigerant water spray nozzle can be disassembled and replaced, to ensure the cooling capacity during the life span.
• Automatic anti-crystallization system combining level difference dilution and crystal dissolution: eliminate crystallization
A self-contained temperature&level difference detection system enables unit to monitor excessively high concentration of the concentrated solution. On the one hand upon detecting an overly high concentration the unit will bypass 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, level difference dilution system will start rapidly to dilute LiBr solution and to ensure rapid dilution after power supply recovers.
• Fine separation device: eradicate refrigerant water pollution
The concentration of the LiBr solution in the generator is divided into two stages, the flash generation stage and the generation stage. The real cause of pollution is in the flash generation phase.The fine separation device finely separates the refrigerant vapor with solution in the flash process, so that the pure refrigerant vapor can enter the next step of the refrigeration cycle, eliminating the source of pollution and eradicating the pollution of the refrigerant water. As leading water chiller manufacturers, we ensure our systems utilize advanced separation technologies to maintain refrigerant purity and system efficiency.
• Fine flash evaporation device: refrigerant waste heat recovery
The waste heat of the refrigerant water inside the unit is used to heat the diluted LiBr solution to reduce the heat load of the absorber and achieve the purpose of waste heat recovery, energy saving and consumption reduction. Our expertise as water chiller manufacturers allows us to incorporate efficient waste heat recovery systems to enhance overall energy efficiency.
• 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.
