AET launches gas-fired absorption chillers

AET, absoption chillers

Direct-gas-fired absorption chillers from AET can supply chilled water and hot water according to the requirements of the building. The advanced design of SAB-DF chillers ensures they are economical to install and run. They use an innovative flow system for the cooling water to provide a large temperature differential on the chilled-water and cooling-water circuits to reduce flow rate.

The benefits of large temperature differentials include less energy used by the circulating pump and heat-rejection fan, and reduced pipe sizes to save space and cut costs.

Models are available with flow/return temperatures of 7/15°C and 7/12°C.

There are 17 models of high-efficiency chiller with a COP of 1.35 and cooling capacities from 420 to 3520 kW and heating from 380 to 3160 kW.

Standard-efficiency chillers have a COP of 1.2 for versions with standard and large temperature differentials. Cooling capacities are from 420 to 4400 kW and heating from 380 to 3950 kW.

These chillers have a factory-fitted micro-processor controller which is fully tested before shipment. A touchscreen shows operational status and fault indication.

More refrigerant bans possible, says government

The government could tighten up the rules that restrict the use of global warming refrigerant gases including speeding up phase-out programmes and introducing new bans, according to a spokesman from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Baxi research suggests schools strongly support heat decarbonisation

A survey conducted by Baxi of 200 state school estates managers, consultant engineers and M&E contractors has found that while enthusiasm for Net Zero and support for low carbon heating systems in schools is thriving, persistent barriers remain.
