The principle of refrigeration is the exchange of heat.
In absorption liquid chilling, there are four basic heat
exchange surfaces: the evaporator, the absorber, the
generator, and the condenser. See Figure 1 on page
15.
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. It is the strong affin-
ity that these two substances have for one another that
makes the cycle work. The entire process occurs in al-
most a complete vacuum.
CHILLER-HEATER COMPONENTS
The absorption chiller-heater consists of the following
components:
• evaporator
• absorber
• condenser
• generators
• solution heat exchangers to heighten the cycle
efciency
• 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-heater comes with a factory
mounted and pre-wired control system. The control
panel enclosure is equipped with a hinged access door
with lock and key. The control panel includes a touch
panel showing all system parameters in various lan-
guages with numeric data in metric units. For details
of the control panel, see SECTION 6 – OPERATION.
The unit is also equipped with two methods to start and
stop operations:
• touch panel
• external signal
