What is an absorbent cooler?

adsorption or absorption cooler is a cooling system that uses heat instead of electricity to cool. There are many industrial uses for absorbent coolers, including cooling of production plants and unnecessary heat use. Different types of absorbent coolers are solar, water, gas and bromide with steam. The refrigerant, usually freon®, is subjected to pressure and generates heat in the compressor. When creating pressure and heat, the liquid is converted to steam gas. The gas then moves to the capacitor where the heat is dispersed and is changed back to the liquid.

The cooled liquid is directed to the evaporator, where it turns into gas and pulls heat from the air; Blowers of fans to send cool air to the building. The gas moves from Evaporator to the compressor and the process begins again. In traditional air -conditioning systems, this process is achieved by means of an electric powered pump.

in a solar absorption cooler are solar panEly placed on the roof of the building to collect heat from the sun. The stored heat is then used to heat the liquid in the air conditioning system. When the liquid heats up, it turns into steam and flows through the system in the same way as conventional systems. The main difference is that instead of using an electric pump, the liquid is heated by the sun.

In the gas absorption cooler, the pump is operated by a natural gas line connected to the system. When the system is on, the natural gas activates the pump to flow through the refrigerant compressor. These systems run more efficiently than electrical air conditioning systems, but are becoming increasingly expensive to operate than solar varieties. In the area, where sunlight is not available for a longer period of time, the gas cooler is more commonly used.

In a bromide with a cooler of steam absorption, the refrigerant is instead of freon® water. The system also contains a substance of salt, usually in the form of lithium bromide. The heat from the generator pump causes the water to separate from the lithium of the bromide and turn to the steam. How para rises into the absorber and cools, remixes with lithium bromide and is significantly cooler. This is due to extreme atmospheric pressure in the absorber.

under normal conditions, the water evaporates at 212 ° F (100 ° C), but in the absorber the water can evaporate up to 46 ° F (8 ° C). This low temperature allows the water to cool down quickly as it moves from the absorber. The chilled water then moves through the evaporator, where the blowers cool the air flowing through the evaporator coils containing chilled water and out into the building.
