The Carrier 16LJ and 16LJ-F series represents a breakthrough in sustainable thermal management, specifically engineered for large-scale industrial and commercial cooling. These single-effect absorption chillers turn low-grade hot water—often a wasted byproduct—into a reliable source of chilled water. By eliminating the need for high-voltage electricity and synthetic refrigerants, the 16LJ series offers a quiet, vibration-free, and carbon-conscious alternative to traditional mechanical cooling systems.
Cooling Capacity: 176 kW to 5,275 kW (50 to 1,500 Tons)
Primary Heat Source: Low-temperature Hot Water (70°C to 95°C)
Environmental Impact: Zero GWP/ODP (Natural Water Refrigerant)
Operational Footprint: Compact modular design for space optimization
Operating Sound: Silent, compressor-free thermal cycle
The chiller’s controller manages the start/stop commands for the chilled water, cooling water, and hot water pumps. During shutdown, it automatically sequences these pumps to complete a dilution cycle, preventing the lithium bromide from crystallizing as the unit cools.
Equipped with an 8.4-inch high-resolution touch screen, providing real-time visualization of the absorption cycle, temperature gradients, and operational records in multiple languages.
Features comprehensive safety protections including chilled water flow verification, low-temperature freeze protection, and solution concentration monitoring to ensure the unit stays within its "safe operating zone."
Operators can toggle between "Local" and "Remote" modes directly from the panel, allowing for manual overrides or automated operation based on facility-wide cooling demand signals.
The Carrier 16LJ single-effect absorption chillers are designed to provide chilled water from waste heat sources generated from industrial processes and cogeneration systems.
