Advantages of the absorption chiller
- Powered by waste heat at low temperature from 90°C
- Utilization of “free” waste heat
- Possibility of trigeneration in connection with combined heat and power plants (CHPs)
- Fully automatic operation mode
- Favorable partial load performance at a proportional consumption of the required heat input
- Easy handling
- Generation of effective temperatures of down to -30°C
- Adjustment of COP to individual requirements
Advantages compared to compression-type chillers
- Fault-free operation due to simple design
- Low power consumption, 85 % of primary energy savings
- Not subject to the regulation on fluorinated greenhouse gases
- Low sound power level and structure-borne sound propagation (low noise level, no vibrations)
- Use of natural refrigerants (ODP and GWP =0)
- Oil-free refrigerant
Advantages compared to water-lithium bromide absorption chillers
- Refrigeration temperatures of down to below 0°C are possible
Advantages of the AGO construction and design
- Modular structure
- Compact design by using plate heat exchangers
- Less refrigerant required
- Easy installation
- Individual design allows for integration into existing systems (tri-generation)
- Outdoor installation is possible
