Temperature enhancement of absorption chillers

Outlet temperature of absorption chillers is now going lower,

thus progress waste heat utilization and reduce electricity.

Conclusions

Absorption cooling cycle reduces carbon emission by

replacing combustion boilers and electrical chillers.

1) Absorption heat pumps replace combustion boilers

by using some 80~90°C unused heat.

2) Low temperature driven absorption chillers recover

unused heat down to 51°C. This new system was

developed in TherMAT project in 2013-2017.

3) We expect this new chillers to be used for urban hot

water networks especially in summer.
