Hot Water Fired Absorption Chillers

16LJ-A

The Carrier 16LJ-A series represents the pinnacle of sustainable cooling technology, engineered to transform low-grade hot water into high-performance refrigeration. By utilizing a natural water-lithium bromide cycle, this single-effect absorption chiller eliminates the need for energy-intensive mechanical compressors. It is the ideal solution for facilities looking to repurpose waste heat from industrial processes, cogeneration plants, or solar thermal arrays to achieve a carbon-neutral cooling strategy.

  • Cooling Capacity Range: 176 kW to 5,275 kW (50 to 1,500 Tons)

  • Energy Source: Low-temperature Hot Water (70°C to 95°C)

  • Refrigerant: Natural Water (R-718) – Zero GWP & ODP

  • Operational Sound: Ultra-low noise (approx. 70–75 dB(A))

  • Control Precision: Leaving Water Temperature stable within ±0.5 K

Technical Details

High-Efficiency Heat Exchangers

Features specialized tube geometries that maximize heat transfer while minimizing the overall physical footprint of the unit.

PID-Driven Performance

The advanced Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control logic ensures rapid response to load changes, maintaining precise chilled water temperatures.

Hermetic Solution Pumps

Equipped with leak-proof, canned motor pumps that require no external lubrication, ensuring a completely sealed vacuum environment

Corrosion Protection Technology

Utilizes a lithium molybdate inhibitor that forms a protective film on internal surfaces, preventing oxidation and extending the unit's lifespan to over 20 years.

Control / Integrations

BMS Integration

Native support for BACnet, Modbus, and LonWorks, allowing for full remote monitoring and data logging via your central Building Management System.

Smart Automation

Includes automated dilution cycles, pump sequencing, and proactive diagnostic alerts to ensure the chiller stays within its optimal "efficiency map" at all times.
