SOLAR AIR CONDITIONING

COOLING CYCLE

The absorption chiller or chiller-heater uses a solution of lithium bromide and water, under a vacuum, as the working fluid. This totally eliminates the need for conventional
refrigerants or freon.  Water is the refrigerant and Lithium Bromide, a nontoxic salt, is the absorbent.  LITHIUM BROMIDE, liberated by heat from the water solution, produces a refrigerating effect in he evaporator when cooling water is circulated through the condenser and absorber.

 Absorption Principle

THE CONDENSER or waste heat rejection loop is water-cooled. It is in this process that the true efficiency of the LiBr chiller can be achieved.  Through the use of a little ingenuity and imagination COP efficiencies of less than one can be maintained.  By replacing a conventional cooling tower major amounts of energy savings are achieved. Waste heat leaves the condenser a about 95 F. Cooling water inters at approximately 85 F. By utilizing a heat exchanger or loop in the cool water interring an industrial process, The rejected heat can preheat it. One example is CAR WASHES. Large amounts of cold water enter as make up water. This water would otherwise be heated with new energy instead of RECYCLED ENERGY. Other examples include; Irrigation water, Breweries, Cooling Ponds and Wells. All of these methods replace energy wasting COOLING TOWERS.

SOLAR AIR CONDITIONINGThe WATER FIRED SINGLE-EFFECT chillers or chiller-heaters have cooling capacities of 10, 20 and 30 tons of refrigeration and produce chilled water for cooling or hot water for heating in many different  air conditioning applications.  The absorption cycle is energize by hot water at 158
