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.

What Is a Vapour Absorption Machine?

A vapour absorption machine (VAM) is a non-electric refrigeration system that uses heat instead of electricity - perfect for turning waste energy into clean cooling.

Types of Systems That Fall Under VAMs

- Vapour Absorption Chillers (VACs)
- Steam Absorption Chillers
- Hot Water Absorption Chillers
- Exhaust Absorption Chillers
- Direct-Fired Vapour Absorption Chillers

How Does a VAM Work?

Cooling Phase: Heat evapourates the refrigerant.
Absorption Phase: Lithium bromide or ammonia absorbs the vapour.
Separation Phase: Heat separates the refrigerant again.
Recycling Phase: Condensed refrigerant restarts the cycle.

Key Advantages of Vapour Absorption Machines

Lower Energy Use: Runs on heat, not electricity.
Eco-Friendly: No synthetic refrigerants or ozone damage.
Quiet Operation: Minimal mechanical noise.
Cost Savings: Low bills, long lifespan.
Low Maintenance: Fewer parts to repair or replace.

Industries Benefiting from VAMs

- Power Plants (Turbine Inlet Cooling)
- Manufacturing Facilities (Waste Heat Use)
- Malls, Offices, Hotels (Low-noise Cooling)
- District Cooling Systems

The Takeaway: Cool Smarter with VAMs

VAMs help businesses reduce energy use, emissions, and costs by transforming available heat into sustainable cooling. With BROAD absorption chillers, your operations stay green, quiet, and efficient.
