ADVANCED ABSORPTION CHILLERS
Summary
One of significant feature of absorption cooling technology is that various
thermal energies can be used for air-conditioning by the technology. The main types
of thermal energy are hot water, steam, and exhaust gas. In this document, Yazaki’s
advanced absorption chillers and systems are introduced for effective usages not
.only waste thermal energies but also renewable energies
Utilization of Various Waste Thermal Energies
By an onsite electrical generator and manufacturing process of factory
various types of thermal energy are discharged, such as hot water, steam, and
exhaust gas. Absorption chiller can use not only fossil fuel but also the waste
thermal energies for cooling. In combination with an electrical generator and an
absorption chiller, the combined system can improve overall efficiency rate by using
the waste thermal energy for cooling. For effective utilization of energy, Yazaki
provides absorption chillers for each type of thermal energy
For Utilization of Hot Water
Hot water Fired Chiller (WFC) is the first type of chiller forutilizing waste head
The WFC absorption cycle is energized by hot water and the lower side operational
temperature range of hot water is expanded to 70 degree C for effective utilizthe thermal energy
In general, if the hot water temperature is not enough to operate the WFC,
additional boiler is installed into the system to produce an increase in temperature.
WFC-SCB and WFC SHB series are the packaged type of auxiliary boiler. By
optimal control of auxiliary boiler and WFC, waste energy of hot water can be used
effectively
For Utilization of Steam
CH-KGST can use wasted steam for cooling. In the case of high-pressure
steam, the CH-KGST operates double effect cooling cycle. If the steam pressure
decreases, the CH-KGST cooling cycle switch to single effect cooling cycle. By the
cycle switching control, CH-KGST series can operate continuously under steam
pressure fluctuation from 98 kPa to 686 kPa and realizes effective use of lowpressure
