Who Uses VAM Systems ? Harnessing Heat for Cooling in Key Industries

Vapour Absorption Machines(VAMs) offer a compelling alternative to traditional vapour compression chillers, particularly in scenarios where a significant source of waste heat is readily available.Instead of relying heavily on electricity to drive a mechanical compressor, VAMs utilize thermal energy to facilitate the cooling process.

  • Process Cooling

    Industries like plastics, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals often require precise temperature control for their manufacturing processes.

  • Waste Heat Recovery from IT Equipment

    VAM systems can be integrated to utilize this lower - grade heat for cooling the facility.

  • Combined Cooling and Power(CCP) Systems

    This significantly increases the overall energy utilization efficiency of the data center.

  • Hospitals

    Utilizing waste heat from laundry or sterilization processes for air conditioning.

  • Food Processing

    Using waste heat from cooking or pasteurization processes for refrigeration or space cooling.

  • Conclusion

    In conclusion, VAM systems offer a sustainable and cost - effective cooling solution for industries that generate substantial amounts of waste heat.By harnessing this readily available thermal energy, manufacturing plants, data centers, power plants, and other facilities can significantly reduce their reliance on electricity for cooling, leading to lower operating costs and a reduced environmental impact.

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.
