The Carrier 16LJ and 16LJ-F series represents a breakthrough in sustainable thermal management, specifically engineered for large-scale industrial and commercial cooling. These single-effect absorption chillers turn low-grade hot water—often a wasted byproduct—into a reliable source of chilled water. By eliminating the need for high-voltage electricity and synthetic refrigerants, the 16LJ series offers a quiet, vibration-free, and carbon-conscious alternative to traditional mechanical cooling systems.
Cooling Capacity: 176 kW to 5,275 kW (50 to 1,500 Tons)
Primary Heat Source: Low-temperature Hot Water (70°C to 95°C)
Environmental Impact: Zero GWP/ODP (Natural Water Refrigerant)
Operational Footprint: Compact modular design for space optimization
Operating Sound: Silent, compressor-free thermal cycle
The Carrier 16LJ (and the high-efficiency 16LJ-F variant) is a premier solution for facilities integrated with District Heating, Cogeneration (CHP), or industrial process heat. Operating on the principle of absorption, it utilizes a vacuum-sealed lithium bromide and water cycle to generate cooling without the wear and tear of high-speed moving parts.
High-Efficiency Heat Recovery: Optimized to extract maximum cooling potential from low-grade waste heat, significantly lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Advanced Anti-Crystallization Logic: Integrated microprocessor controls monitor solution concentration levels in real-time, automatically activating dilution cycles to ensure stable operation.
The chiller’s controller manages the start/stop commands for the chilled water, cooling water, and hot water pumps. During shutdown, it automatically sequences these pumps to complete a dilution cycle, preventing the lithium bromide from crystallizing as the unit cools.
Equipped with an 8.4-inch high-resolution touch screen, providing real-time visualization of the absorption cycle, temperature gradients, and operational records in multiple languages.
Features comprehensive safety protections including chilled water flow verification, low-temperature freeze protection, and solution concentration monitoring to ensure the unit stays within its "safe operating zone."
Operators can toggle between "Local" and "Remote" modes directly from the panel, allowing for manual overrides or automated operation based on facility-wide cooling demand signals.
The onboard microprocessor constantly calculates the solution concentration. If it detects a risk level, the system automatically stops the heat supply and initiates a dilution cycle to safely lower the concentration before it can solidify.
Yes. The 16LJ control center is designed to interlock with your chilled water and cooling tower pumps, ensuring they operate only when the chiller is active and continue running during the essential post-shutdown dilution phase.
Absolutely. The touch screen interface uses intuitive icons and real-time data displays. It also features an "Expert Self-Diagnosis" function that identifies and explains any operational issues in plain text.
Unlike electric chillers that may "hunt" or cycle frequently, the 16LJ can modulate its capacity smoothly down to 10% of its rated load, making it highly efficient for facilities with variable occupancy or process requirements.
The Carrier 16LJ single-effect absorption chillers are designed to provide chilled water from waste heat sources generated from industrial processes and cogeneration systems.
