The advantages of modular chillers and absorption chillers

Modular chiller

Advantage:

  1. It is an improved type of piston chiller and screw chiller. It is composed of multiple chiller units.
  2. The unit has small size, light weight, low height and small footprint.
  3. Simple installation, no need to reserve installation holes, convenient on-site combination, especially suitable for renovation projects.

Disadvantages:

  1. The price is more expensive.
  2. The number of modules should generally not exceed 8 pieces.

Lithium bromide absorption chiller (steam, hot water and direct combustion type)

The advantages and disadvantages of modular chillers and lithium bromide absorption chillers

The advantages and disadvantages of modular chillers and lithium bromide absorption chillers

Advantage:

  1. Fewer moving parts, low failure rate, smooth movement, small vibration and low noise.
  2. The processing is simple and the operation is convenient. It can realize 10% ~ 100% stepless adjustment.
  3. The lithium bromide solution is non-toxic and has no destructive effect on the ozone layer.
  4. Available waste heat. Waste heat and other low-grade heat energy.
  5. Less running cost and good safety.
  6. With thermal energy as the power source, electricity consumption is low.

Disadvantages:

  1. The service life is shorter than the compression type.
  2. Power saving does not save energy, the gas consumption is large, and the thermal efficiency is low.
  3. The unit is operated under vacuum for a long time, and the external air is easy to invade. If the air intrudes, it will cause the attenuation of the cooling capacity, so it is required to be strictly sealed, which will cause inconvenience to manufacturing and use.
  4. The heat discharge load of the unit is larger than that of the compression type, and the cooling water quality requirements are higher.
  5. Lithium bromide solution is strongly corrosive to carbon steel, affecting the life and performance of the unit.
