16LJ Single-Effect, Low Temperature Hot Water Hermetic Absorption Liquid Chiller-3

The Carrier-Sanyo microprocessor PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control system surpasses proportional only control systems by maintaining precise leaving chilled water temperature versus actual set point. The PID controls surpass proportional only controls in their ability to control the machine and narrow temperature variations. The 16LJ chiller control system also incorporates the ability to control the chilled water and cooling water pumps automatically. During shutdown these pumps are sequenced to ensure a complete dilution cycle, thus providing protection from solution crystallization....

16LJ Single-Effect, Low Temperature Hot Water Hermetic Absorption Liquid Chiller-4

Features/Benefits (cont) corrosion, lithium bromide solution crystallization, and/or reduction of chiller capacity. The Carrier-Sanyo purge system protects against these potential hazards by operating continuously during machine operation. How the purge system operates — During chiller operation, any noncondensables that are present tend to accumulate in the absorber section, which operates at the lowest pressure internal to the machine. A slipstream of lithium bromide solution flows through an eductor from the absorbent pump discharge. This process creates suction, which draws the noncondensables...
