What is a Vapour Absorption Chiller?

It's a thermally-driven cooling system that uses water/LiBr solution and heat (from steam, hot water, exhaust, or gas) instead of electricity to produce chilled water, drastically reducing energy costs.

Can BROAD chillers run on waste heat?

Yes, our absorption chillers can capture waste heat from industrial processes, generator exhaust, or boiler steam to provide free cooling, resulting in significant OPEX savings.

Do you provide after-sales service in India?

Absolutely. BROAD India provides comprehensive design consultation, commissioning, operator training, and 24/7 after-sales support with remote monitoring capabilities.

Steam Absorption Chillers – The Smart Way to Reduce Energy Costs

Introduction

As the world shifts toward sustainable energy practices, organizations are searching for innovative ways to reduce electricity usage without compromising on cooling performance. Steam absorption chillers offer an efficient and eco-conscious alternative, using waste steam as an energy source to deliver powerful cooling while minimizing environmental impact.

How Do Steam Absorption Chillers Function?

These systems use a heat-driven absorption cycle. Under low pressure, water evapourates and absorbs heat from the environment, delivering a cooling effect.
The resulting vapour is absorbed by lithium bromide, which is then regenerated using steam. This process separates the refrigerant, allowing the cycle to restart, continuously producing chilled water without energy-intensive compressors.

Industries That Benefit from Steam Absorption Chillers

Sectors like petrochemicals, thermal power plants, and large-scale manufacturing facilities often produce excess steam. Steam absorption chillers tap into this waste steam, turning it into usable cooling capacity.
Commercial buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, and large campuses are also adopting these chillers to improve energy efficiency and meet sustainability goals.

Conclusion

Steam absorption chillers offer a low-maintenance, energy-saving alternative to traditional electric cooling systems. They help industries cut energy costs while contributing to a greener planet.
