The Carrier 16LJ-A series represents the pinnacle of sustainable cooling technology, engineered to transform low-grade hot water into high-performance refrigeration. By utilizing a natural water-lithium bromide cycle, this single-effect absorption chiller eliminates the need for energy-intensive mechanical compressors. It is the ideal solution for facilities looking to repurpose waste heat from industrial processes, cogeneration plants, or solar thermal arrays to achieve a carbon-neutral cooling strategy.
Cooling Capacity Range: 176 kW to 5,275 kW (50 to 1,500 Tons)
Energy Source: Low-temperature Hot Water (70°C to 95°C)
Refrigerant: Natural Water (R-718) – Zero GWP & ODP
Operational Sound: Ultra-low noise (approx. 70–75 dB(A))
Control Precision: Leaving Water Temperature stable within ±0.5 K
The Carrier 16LJ-A is a high-efficiency absorption chiller designed specifically for applications where hot water is readily available as a byproduct of power generation or industrial manufacturing. Unlike traditional electric chillers, the 16LJ-A operates on a thermal vacuum principle, using a high-performance lithium bromide solution to absorb water vapor and produce chilled water.
Waste Heat Optimization: Specifically tuned to operate on low-grade thermal energy, significantly reducing operational electricity costs and maximizing the ROI of CHP systems.
Eco-Friendly Chemical Cycle: Uses a non-toxic, CFC-free lithium bromide and water solution, making it a sustainable choice for LEED-certified buildings and "Green" industrial sites.
Whisper-Quiet, Vibration-Free: Since it lacks large moving parts like screws or centrifugal compressors, it provides a silent cooling solution perfect for sound-sensitive environments.
Native support for BACnet, Modbus, and LonWorks, allowing for full remote monitoring and data logging via your central Building Management System.
Includes automated dilution cycles, pump sequencing, and proactive diagnostic alerts to ensure the chiller stays within its optimal "efficiency map" at all times.

Yes. The 16LJ-A’s control system is designed to modulate its performance based on the available hot water temperature, ensuring stable cooling even if the heat source varies between 70°C and 95°C.
Because there are no high-speed rotating compressors, mechanical wear is minimal. Maintenance focuses primarily on annual solution analysis, tube cleaning, and ensuring the purge system is maintaining a high vacuum.
Lithium bromide is a non-toxic salt solution. While it must be handled with care during charging or sampling, it does not pose the environmental or safety risks associated with high-pressure synthetic refrigerants.
By using waste heat instead of electricity and employing a zero-GWP natural refrigerant, the 16LJ-A contributes significantly to Energy and Atmosphere (EA) credits in green building rating systems.
