Absorption cycle
Absorption chillers differ from mechanical vapour compression chillers in that they utilise a thermal or chemical process to produce the refrigeration effect necessary to provide chilled water. There is no mechanical compression of the refrigerant taking place within the machine as occurs within more traditional vapour compression type chillers. Most commercial absorption chillers utilise lithium bromide (a salt) and water as the fluid pair.
