Absorption Chiller
Absorption Chiller
Absorption Chiller
Features/Benefits
Single-effect absorption cycle
provides efficient, economical
water chilling and/or process
cooling with minimal use of
electricity.
Cost-effective cooling
Alternative-energy chiller - The
16JL/JLR offers an alternative to
chillers driven by increasingly
expensive electrical energy. The use
of steam/hot water powered
absorption chiller not only eliminates
demand charges and high cost
electrical usage, but also allows the
owner to take advantage of gas
cooling rebates and incentive
programs offered by many local
utility companies.

NOTES:
1 All dimensions in mm are accurate and take into account absorber-condenser crossover piping.
2 For routine maintenance, allow 3 ft (1 m) clearance on all sides and 6 in. (150 mm) above chiller.
3 For service access, allow clearance as follows:
a For tube removal, allow space equal to “A” dimension (length) at either end of the chiller.
b To open waterbox cover, allow clearance space equal to half of “B” dimension (width) on the waterbox end of the chiller.

NOTES:
1. The foundation load should be designed according to the operating weight of chiller.
2. The base must be smooth and horizontal (the level should be below 1mm for 1000mm).
3. The function of hole based on the foundation is to fix the chiller by bolts, and cement could be fit from the slant cut of the holes.
4. Tube space could be saved at either side.
5. Anchor bolts, washers and nuts are supplied by customer.
