Why Industries Are Switching to Non - Electric Cooling
Learn about Direct Fired Chiller | See VAM Product Page | CCHP Systems | Pump Solutions Introduction:
Industries are looking to cut energy costs and emissions while maintaining efficient cooling.Traditional electric chillers consume huge electricity and often use synthetic refrigerants, increasing costs and environmental impact.
Steam and Exhaust Fired VAM chillers offer a sustainable alternative by using waste heat or steam instead of electricity:
- Steam VAMs: Powered by steam from boilers or industrial processes.
- Exhaust Fired VAMs: Use high-temperature exhaust gases to generate cooling.
- Energy Savings: Reduces reliance on grid electricity.
- Eco - Friendly: Uses natural refrigerants, lowers CO₂.
- Low Maintenance & Reliable: Fewer moving parts, long lifespan.
- Scalable: Ideal for manufacturing, food processing, and large commercial applications.
Conclusion:
Switching to non - electric VAM cooling helps industries achieve efficient, sustainable, and cost - effective operations.
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.
