Features
- Innovative YORK® two-step evaporator and absorber design enhances absorption of the refrigerant into the concentrated solution, reducing overall pressure and risks of crystallization.
- Solution plate heat exchanger optimizes efficiency by enabling effective heat transfer between the diluted and the concentrated lithium-bromide solutions.
- Control center with graphical, animated LCD display offers present and past operational status, data recording and chiller safeties accessible at a touch.
- Lower pressure steam into the generator can be used to drive the absorption cycle for higher system efficiency.
- Tubes made with deoxidized, low-phosphorus (DLP) copper protect against corrosion cracking. Water boxes coated with epoxy paint deliver corrosion resistance.
- Isolation valves on the suction and discharge of the solution and refrigerant pumps allow quick and easy servicing of pumps, which typically have a 60,000-hour life.
