 Advantages & Disadvantages of Absorption Chiller-heater

Advantages Disadvantages

1 Higher inlet cooling water Higher cooling water flow rate

2 Reducing noise and vibration Larger weight

3 -Saving on emergency backup power Higher initial cost (Chiller / Chiller)

equipment cost for cooling
- Saving capital cost for boiler and / or
electric heaters in the AHU

4 - Utilizing of waste heat and Cogeneration Lower C.O.P

systems
- Low running cost
- Require very little electric power

5 - More efficient and partial load Longer starting ad stopping time

- Eliminating refrigerant environment
- Reduce emission of global warming gas
and pollutants
