Introduction:
Industries today face a tough balance staying productive while cutting energy costs and emissions.That’s where Steam Vapour Absorption Machines(VAM) chillers are making a difference.Instead of using electricity, these systems use steam or waste heat to produce cooling turning industrial heat losses into energy savings.

  • How They Work

    Steam VAM chillers run on an absorption cycle using natural refrigerants like water or ammonia.No compressors, no high power demand just efficient, eco-friendly cooling powered by heat.

  • Why Industries Are Switching

    • Up to 70 % less electricity use
    • Zero harmful refrigerants
    • Lower maintenance and longer lifespan
    • Faster payback(2–3 years)
  • Real - World Impact

    A dairy plant in South India used a 300 - TR steam - driven VAM and cut CO₂ emissions by 1,000 + tonnes annually.
    A steel factory in Bangladesh saved 1.5 million electricity units per year using waste heat to power VAM chillers.These systems are proving that clean cooling = smart business.

  • Future of Cooling

    Steam VAM chillers can work with solar thermal, biomass, and waste heat recovery, helping industries move closer to net - zero operations.

Conclusion:
They’re efficient, reliable, and sustainable the future of green industrial cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Need Help With Your Cooling System?

BROAD India's engineering team can assess your facility's cooling requirements and recommend the most energy-efficient solution - from vapour absorption chillers to waste heat recovery systems.
