RCD series absorption chiller-heater unit utilizing waste heat

摘要

Ebara has developed a RCD series absorption heater-chiller unit, named Genelink, which utilizes waste heat in wastewater as a heat source. This unit is designed under a co-generation concept, principally using ,gas as fuel and also making use ofwaste heat from a gas engine generator. The utilization of waste heat by this unit enables a 10% saving on fuel consumption under a normal heater-chiller operation for air conditioning. The water heated by waste heat is drawn into Genelink via a heatexchanger and no absorption chiller (necessary in conventional system) is needed. This system, under a partial air-conditioning load, is also capable of being operated using only waste heat in water as the power source, thus realizing significantenergy-saving.
