How does Absorption chiller works ?
Absorption chillers differ from the more prevalent compression chillers in that the cooling effect is driven by heat energy, rather than mechanical energy. The systems are basically the same – they work off of a high pressure zone and a low pressure zone. How they get these pressure difference is in a mechanical system the pressure is maintained by a compressor. It physically compresses the working fluid into a higher pressure – just like a bike air pump. An adsorption system gets a high pressure by instead of a compressor, it has what they call a generator. It works just like a pressure cooker. Heat is added to it and the fluid’s pressure inside rises.
