As energy prices soar and sustainability becomes critical, vapour absorption chillers (VACs) are replacing traditional, energy-hungry systems across industries.

How Do Vapour Absorption Chillers Work?
Instead of using a compressor, VACs operate through a thermodynamic cycle powered by heat:
- - Heat from natural gas, steam, or diesel turns water into vapour.
- - Lithium bromide absorbs the vapour.
- - More heat separates the mixture, restarting the cycle.
Why They’re Better Than Traditional Chillers
- Lower Electricity Bills: Uses waste heat, not grid electricity.
- Environment-Friendly: Reduces emissions and supports decarbonisation.
- Low Maintenance: No moving parts, fewer breakdowns.
- Quiet Operation: Ideal for hospitals and offices.
VAMs vs VACs – What’s the Difference?
VAMs: General term for all absorption-based systems. VACs: Specialized for chilled water cooling only.
Types of Non-Electric Chillers
- - Steam Absorption Chillers
- - Hot Water Chillers
- - Exhaust Absorption Chillers
- - Flue Gas Recovery Chillers
- - Direct Fired Vapour Absorption Chillers
Where You'll Find These Chillers
- - Factories and power plants
- - CHP/CCHP systems
- - Green-certified commercial buildings
- - Sites using BROAD non-electric chillers
