Chemical Processing : A system to cool down ethylene using process energy
Client Sector Key Benefits
Better productivity.
At equal consumption of ethylene,
the yield is better.
Project Scope
6MW Cooling
Design & build of a system that Absorption Chiller Energy
optimizes the ethylene chemical Hot water
reaction yield, to lower the Generator Condenser
power consumption of the
compressor. Ethylene
Reactor Evaporator Absorber
Valuable Cold
Industrial Manufacturing : Energy reduction with a brick furnace preheating system
Client Sector Key Benefits
Industrial Manufacturing
Energy savings
and lower CO2 emissions
Very low electric power consumption Cold & Heat power production
• ~ 1% of cooling power • From 2 to 15 MW / unit
LiBr Solution
Driving Heat*
The GENERATOR is the “discharge” side of the thermal
Hot Water
Vapor compression system. The refrigerant is boiled off the
Steam solution at higher pressure and temperature.
Thermal Oil
Hot Air
Generator Condenser The CONDENSER, where the compressed refrigerant
*Minimum 70°C vapor is condensed. The liquid refrigerant then flows
back to the evaporator
Cooling
Water
The ABSORBER is the “suction” side of the thermal
compression system. The refrigerant vapor is
absorbed by a strong solution ( approx. 60% salt )
Vapor
Chilled Water The EVAPORATOR, where the refrigerant evaporates
at low pressure (approx. 9 mbar absolute) and low
temperature
Evaporator Absorber
Main Cold production: from 3 to 20°C Simple effect → COP > 0,8
characteristics Heat production: ~ 50 to 80°C Double effect → COP: 1 – 1,7

Absorption vs Compression Thermal Energy Storage
Heat Exchangers
Energy Source Electricity/mechanical Usually Waste Heat > 100°C Advantages of Absorption
Turndown Need of Multi-compressor Very good Chiller:
or on-off regulation Constant COP from 30-100% Low energy consumption
Min. load < 10%
Discreet
Energy Consumption Environmental friendly
Heat None 120 to 130% of cooling capacity
