WORKING PRINCIPLE

The diluted solution from absorber is delivered by solution pump (1), and divided into two parallel ways to be heated by the low temperature heat exchanger and the condensate heat exchanger B and then enters the LTG. In LTG, the diluted solution is heated and boiled by the flowing high pressure and high temperature refrigerant vapor generated in HTG, and the solution is concentrated into an intermediate solution.

Part of the intermediate solution is delivered by the solution pump (2) into two ways, respectively heated by the high temperature heat exchanger and condensate heat exchanger A, and then enters the HTG. In HTG, the intermediate solution is heated by driven steam to produce high pressure and high temperature refrigerant vapor, and the solution is further concentrated into a concentrated solution.

The high pressure and high temperature refrigerant vapor generated in HTG heats the dilute solution of the LTG and condenses into refrigerant water, after throttling, the pressure is reduced, and the refrigerant vapor generated in LTG enters the condenser, and then is cooled by the cooling water in condenser and becomes refrigerant water corresponding to the condenser pressure.

Steam LiBr Absorption Chiller Working Principle

The refrigerant water generated in the condenser enters the evaporator after being throttled by the U tube. Because the pressure in evaporator is very low, part of the refrigerant water evaporates, and most of the refrigerant water is delivered by the refrigerant pump, sprayed on the evaporator tube cluster, absorbing the heat of chilled water flowing in the tube and evaporating, and then the temperature of the chilled water is reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of refrigeration.

The concentrated solution from HTG flows through the high temperature heat exchanger and the other part of the intermediate solution from LTG is mixed and delivered to absorber by the absorption pump, sprayed on the absorber tube cluster, and cooled by the cooling water flowing in the tube. After cooling , the temperature is lowered, the mixed solution absorbs the refrigerant vapor from the evaporator and becomes a dilute solution. In this way, the mixed solution continuously absorbs the refrigerant vapor from evaporator, so that the evaporation process in the evaporator continues. The LiBr solution diluted by absorbing the refrigerant vapor from evaporator is delivered to LTG by solution pump (1), thus completing a refrigeration cycle. The process is repeated by ODM Steam Absorption Chiller so that the evaporator can continuously produce low temperature chilled water for air conditioning or manufacturing process.

CHILLER FEATURES

• "Pre-stressed" HTG, to avoid pull-off of heat exchange tube: easy to maintain
The unique technology not only achieves the purpose of achieving thermal expansion reserve stress without heating, avoids the occurrence of heat exchange tube pull-out accidents when the HTG is out of liquid; but also facilitates maintenance.

• Solution reverse series and parallel circulation technology: more full use of heat sources, higher unit efficiency (COP)
The solution reverse series and parallel circulation technology makes the solution concentration of LTG in the middle position, and the concentration of the concentrated solution in HTG is the highest. Before entering the low temperature heat exchanger, solution concentration will reduce after the intermediate solution mixing with concentrated solution. Then the ODM Steam Absorption Chiller will obtain a large range for vapor discharge and higher efficiency, also be far away from the crystallization, which is safe and reliable.

• Interlock mechanical&electrical anti-freezing system: multi anti-freezing protection
A lowered primary sprayer design for the evaporator, an interlock mechanism which links the secondary sprayer of evaporator with the supply of chilled water and cooling water, a pipe blockage prevention device, a two-hierachy chilled water flow switch, an interlock mechanism designed for the chilled water pump and cooling water pump. Six grade anti-freezing design ensures timely detection of break, underflow, low temperature of chilled water, automatic actions will be taken to prevent tube freezing.

• Auto purge system combining multi-ejector&fall-head technology: speedy vacuum pumping and high vacuum degree maintenance.
This is a new, high efficiency automatic air purge system. The ejector functions as a small air extraction pump. DEEPBLUE automatic air purge system adopts multiple ejectors to increase the air extraction and purge rate of unit. Water head design can help to evaluate vacuum limits and maintain a high vacuum degree. This design can provide a high vacuum degree for every part of unit at any time. Therefore, oxygen corrosion is precluded, service life time is prolonged and optimal operating status is maintained for steam LiBr absorption chiller.

• Viable structure design: easy to maintain
Both the absorber solution spray tray and the evaporator refrigerant water spray nozzle can be disassembled and replaced, to ensure the cooling capacity during the life span.

• Automatic anti-crystallization system combining level difference dilution and crystal dissolution: eliminate crystallization
A self-contained temperature&level difference detection system enables unit to monitor excessively high concentration of the concentrated solution. On the one hand upon detecting an overly high concentration the unit will bypass refrigerant water to concentrated solution for dilution. On the other hand, the chiller utilizes HT LiBr solution in generator to heat concentrated solution to a higher temperature. In the event of a sudden power failure or abnormal shutdown, level difference dilution system will start rapidly to dilute LiBr solution and to ensure rapid dilution after power supply recovers.

• Fine separation device: eradicate refrigerant water pollution
The concentration of the LiBr solution in the generator is divided into two stages, the flash generation stage and the generation stage. The real cause of pollution is in the flash generation phase.The fine separation device finely separates the refrigerant vapor with solution in the flash process, so that the pure refrigerant vapor can enter the next step of the refrigeration cycle, eliminating the source of pollution and eradicating the pollution of the refrigerant water.

• Fine flash evaporation device: refrigerant waste heat recovery
The waste heat of the refrigerant water inside the unit is used to heat the diluted LiBr solution to reduce the heat load of the absorber and achieve the purpose of waste heat recovery, energy saving and consumption reduction.

• Economizer: energy output boosting
Isooctanol with a conventional chemical structure as an energy boosting agent added to LiBr solution, is normally an insoluble chemical that has only a limited energy boosting effect. The economizer can prepare mixture of isooctanol and LiBr solution in a special way to guide isooctanol into generation and absorption process, therefore enhancing energy boosting effect, effectively reducing energy consumption and realizing energy efficiency.

• Unique surface treatment for heat exchange tubes: high performance in heat exchanging&less energy consumption
The evaporator and absorber have been hydrophilic treated to ensure even liquid film distribution on tube surface. This design can improve heat exchange effect and lower energy consumption.

• Self-adaptive refrigerant storage unit: Improving part load performance and shortening startup/shutdown time
