GA ACF gas absorption chiller

Gas absorption chiller

For Cooling with low electric energy consumption.

GA ACF gas absorption chiller

Benefits

  • Saving up to 86% of electricity compared with a traditional electrical system, thanks to the prevalent use of natural gas.
  • Independent and modular, it ensures continuity of service for cooling only as and when needed.
  • Thanks to the use of an almost static refrigeration cycle, the performance levels remain unchanged over time and regular refill and disposal of refrigerant is not required.

Versions

Special versions

  • ACF TK: for process applications.
  • ACF LB: for industrial refrigeration.
  • ACF HT: for hot climate cooling.

The ACF version and all the special versions are available as standard or low noise.

Customized pre-assembled groups Link for configurations of more power or combined with Robur gas absorption chillers or condensing boiler are available on demand.

Applications

Standard ACF

Ideal for cooling where the availability of electrical power is limited or costly.

ACF TK

  • Cooling in process applications. (e.g. in greenhouses for the intensive cultivation of mushrooms, rooms used for medium/longterm maturing of cheese, etc).
  • Cooling of controlled temperature rooms throughout the year (e.g. data reading rooms, computer rooms, laboratories).
  • Cooling of rooms with high heat gains that require cooling even during cold seasons.

ACF LB

  • Refrigeration of low temperature environments for the food industries, where it is necessary to maintain temperatures inside the room in compliance with health and hygiene regulations.
  • Refrigeration of cold rooms and counters for food preservation.
  • Process refrigeration in systems requiring negative fluid temperatures.
  • Ice storage systems, for the storage of cooling energy during periods of low energy needs.

ACF HT

Cooling of residential, commercial and industrial environments with an external air temperature up to 50 °C.
