    Features

    • Two-step evaporator and absorber design enhances absorption of the refrigerant into the concentrated solution, reducing overall pressure.
    • Variable-frequency drive (VFD) solution pump provides superior part-load performance to reduce steam consumption versus constant-speed pumps.
    • Control center with graphical, animated, LCD display offers past and present operational status, data recording and chiller safeties accessible at a touch.
    • Parallel flow cycle enables lower lithium bromide solution concentrations, reducing crystallization risk and the potential for corrosion.
    • High-temperature generator uses stainless steel tubes to maximize reliability by eliminating stress damage.
    • Isolation valves on the suction and discharge of the solution and refrigerant pumps allow quick and easy servicing of pumps, which typically have a 60,000-hour life.
