Flowchart Of Chiller And Function Of Each Section - Carrier 16LJ-01 Operation Manual

2-3. FLOWCHART OF CHILLER AND FUNCTION OF EACH SECTION

a) EVAPORATOR
The refrigerant is dispersed on the heat transfer tubes of evaporator. Chilled water through the heat
transfer tubes of evaporator is cooled by the latent heat of vaporized refrigerant.
b) ABSORBER
The concentrated solution is dispersed on the heat transfer tubes of absorber. The refrigerant vapor
from evaporator is absorbed on the heat transfer tubes of absorber by the concentrated solution.
Cooling water through the heat transfer tubes of absorber is heated by absorption heat.
c) HEAT EXCHANGER
The diluted solution, after leaving the absorber section, passes through the heat exchanger, where
it is heated by the concentrated solution.
The concentrated solutions are cooled by the diluted solution. This cooling process of the
concentrated solution allows for greater absorbing power due to its lower temperature.
d) GENERATOR
The passes through the heat transfer tubes of generator.
The diluted solution in the generator is heated by the hot water.
It releases the refrigerant vapor and is concentrated. It becomes concentrated solution.
e) CONDENSER
The refrigerant vapor from the generator is condensed on the heat transfer tubes of condenser.
Cooling water from the absorber is heated by condensation heat.
f) PURGE UNIT
Gather the non-condensable gas within the Chiller/heater and store it in the purge tank.
