Dear Friends,

I m Looking after A HVAC project in a hospital , we installed three gas fired LG absorbant chillers. I have three gas engines from where i can get free steam or hot water. My management would like to use heat recovery from engines for hospital but i m unable to find the utility of heat recovery. Is there any suggestion where i can utilise recover heat from gas engines.

I also need to knw technical details about gas fired absorbtion chillers. Is it possible to convert any one chiller to steam or hot water.

Thanks

Try Trane Chillers or Carrier. They make absorption cillers and might be able to help you. (Both US companies)

No Absorbtion chillers are a breed apart. you can NOT make any chiller and absorber. When I first came into the buisness 30 years ago absorbers were rare and all R-717 [ amonia] now the new ones are Lithium Bromide.

It can be done and infact I saw some conversions also. This is not at all advisable if you don't have waste heat but in your case this is ok.
