Absorption chiller against common chiller + ice rink
Absorption chiller against common chiller + ice rink
(OP)
Hi Fellows!
Suppose a retroffing operation where a common DX chiller is selected to serve in an existingg installation, giving its sensive power at 7 - 12 ºC in the afternoon and during the night (low electrical rates period), working to charge a ice-rink at -6ºC ~ -5ºC for coping the next morning period (high electrical rates period) against an equivalent absorption chiller solution.
Some guidance is required, any hints, comments. Thanks.

so far, my experience is with 50C min. temperature absorption chillers. LiBr+Water is definitely not an option for you. Check for Water+Ammonia systems.
The main prerequisite for absorption chillers is waste heat. If you have to generate heat to run an absorption chiller, strike it out, unless your power cost is too high.
On the operational front, my suggestion is to, consider a generous quantity of Aspirin, as a standard item, in your inventory list.
Good luck,

Do you dose your absorption chillers with Aspirin?

Thank you so far for your replies!
I must say we are working here on office-building and there is not any spare/waste heat. In the absorption chiller option we should analyse a direct gas-fired heat source chiller unit.
