Hot Water Fired Absorption Chillers 16LJ

The Carrier 16LJ is a premier sustainable cooling solution designed to convert low-grade thermal energy into high-efficiency refrigeration. Engineered for environments where hot water is readily available—such as industrial plants, cogeneration sites, or district heating networks—this single-effect absorption chiller provides a powerful alternative to electricity-heavy cooling. By utilizing a natural water-lithium bromide cycle, the 16LJ offers a whisper-quiet, vibration-free operation that aligns perfectly with modern decarbonization goals.

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

  • Entering Hot Water Temp: Optimized for 70°C to 95°C (158°F to 203°F)

  • Refrigerant Type: R-718 (Pure Water) – 0 GWP / 0 ODP

  • Capacity Control: Smooth modulation from 10% to 100%

  • Design Life: Robust industrial construction for 20+ years of service

Technical Details

Precision PID Temperature Control

The onboard digital controller monitors chilled water temperatures every few seconds, adjusting the hot water flow with extreme accuracy to maintain stability within ±0.5 K.

Hermetic Solution Pumps

Uses advanced canned motor pumps that require no lubrication and feature a leak-proof design, ensuring the chemical integrity of the vacuum system.

Advanced Corrosion Protection

Internal surfaces are protected by a high-grade lithium molybdate inhibitor, which creates a molecular barrier against oxidation and extends the machine's life.

Optimized Solution Concentration

The unit features an automated concentration control system that monitors the lithium bromide levels in real-time to maximize heat transfer while preventing crystallization.

Control / Integrations

Automated Cycle Management

The controller manages the entire start-up and shut-down sequence. Upon stopping, it automatically triggers a Dilution Cycle, circulating the solution until it reaches a safe concentration to prevent solidification.

Unified Fluid Control

The system provides dedicated outputs to interlock and sequence external chilled water, cooling water, and hot water pumps, ensuring the entire hydraulic circuit operates in perfect harmony.

Expert Self-Diagnostics

A comprehensive diagnostic suite monitors all critical pressures and temperatures, providing clear, plain-text alerts and a history of previous events for rapid maintenance.

User Interface

Features an intuitive display that provides a real-time schematic of the absorption cycle, allowing operators to visualize temperatures and valve positions at a glance.
