Air cooled condenser • Only for small capacity • Cool the water or directly the refrigerant for compressor chillers
Cooling tower • Provide cooling water for condenser or absorption Type Location Water need some treatment - Legionella !
What is Heat Pump ? Heating Cooling Outside 95°F Outside 55°F Inside 75°F Inside 75°F
Compressor 2) Condenser 3) Evaporator 4) Air handler 5) Reversing valve and expansion valve www.srpnet.com/energy/pumpworks.aspx
Evaporative Cooling • Wet media/water spray – direct • Raise absolute humidity, lowers temperature of conditioned air • Cooling tower – indirect • Cools through a heat exchanger • Lowers temperature, does not affect absolute humidity • Can directly cool air in cold weather
Can you use the steam for cooling? A Yes B No
Absorption Cycle • Water is typical refrigerant • Strong vacuum - ~0.116 psi or 0.0008 MPa • Boiling point of water? • Differences from vapor compression • No compressor • Chemical (e.g. LiBr - hygroscopic) • Absorbs water vapor turns it into a liquid • Regenerated by removing water • Requires heat
Absorption Cycle Replace compressor Strong vacuum Refrigerant: water Absorber: lithium bromide

Thermal Storage • Make ice/chilled water at times of low demand or low energy prices • Store water in insulated container • Can be used to reduce overall demand • Water can be used as secondary water source for fire protection • Ice/snow
