Compressor chillers or Absorption chillers
(OP)
I would like to know if 400t absorption chiller is competitive if using 40°C waste water, to chill water at 5°C

RE: Compressor chillers or Absorption chillers
what is the ambient temperature of the chiller location?
I don't thick this 40 deg temperature is enough to run the chiller system!

May i suggest you to direct your question, which is an interesting one, to the HVAC/REFRIGERATION FORUM. I think, there you will find quite more fellows willing to answer.
I 'll do that there, as well.

To Davefitz: From your knowledge/experience what you have to say about absorption chillers, in particular those lithium bromide requiring hot water at lower temperatures at the level of the generator(of course you have to consider a bigger one, as well the absorsor!) around 70~75 ºC (or 158~167 ºF). The idea is to combine/integrate this system in multi-task/uses solar installations.

I don't think so! We still having a lots of problems to stabilize the cycle with temperatures around 60~70 ºC and COP ~ 0.45 to 0.55 For temperatures around 40 ºC, you can consider it that as a pre-heating step, at the most. But than again, the COP will be lower, in order to reach the required temperatures at the generator.
