Gas Fired Absorption Chillers

 

The air cooled Robur GA-HR chiller is a standard Gas Fired Absorption unit with an extra heat recovery system.

The Robur GA-HR unit supplies simultaneously both cold water down to 3 °C, and hot water up to 80 °C.

The Robur GA-HR unit supplies chilled water and additionally hot water for:

  • sanitary use in hotels, restaurants, hospitals, leisure centers, etc;
  • for re-heating system inside the central air handling units;
  • all other uses where hot water up to 80 °C required.

The GA-HR unit allows to produce free hot water with a recovery heat exchanger that do not need extra power. The heat recovery system improves the overall unit cooling output, specially with high ambient temperatures.

The GA-HR is Natural gas fired unit, which requires only 45 W of electrical supply to supply 1 kW of cooling water.

The GA-HR unit is designed for outdoor installation only, thus it does not take up valuable indoor space or require a boiler room.

How it works
The Robur GA-HR unit can be operated in cooling mode only or both in cooling plus heat recovery mode.

  • Cooling mode: the heat recovered from the chilled water and the absorption cycle is rejected outside trough the air cooled condenser/absorber coil.
  • Cooling with heat recovered mode: the heat recovered from the chilled water and the absorption cycle is partly recovered by the absorber/condenser and partly rejected by the outdoor coil.

This is the way Robur GA-HR unit can simultaneously supply both the chilled water for air conditioning and hot water for other purposes.

The unit can operate at any related ambient condition in cooling mode even without running additional water in the recovery heat system.

Key Advantages

  • Hot water production is completely free as it utilizes heat from the absorption cycle, which would otherwise be rejected outside.

  • A single gas fired unit for both air-conditioning and hot water production!

  • Thermal power always available: moreover the unit can operate at any rated ambient condition in cooling mode also without running additional water in the recovery heat system. It means that the unit can correctly work in cooling mode also without using heat recovery and it also means that heat recovery power is available when it's necessary while the unit is running.

  • Reduce electric power consumption.
    The Robur GA-HR gas fired unit draws only 0.045 electrical kW to produce 1 kW of chilled water.

  • It does not require indoor space.
    The GA-HR chiller is designed for outdoor installations only, thus no valuable internal space is required.

  • Environmental awareness.
    Low pollution emission and employment of natural refrigerant fluids.
