Cooling Without Compromise: HFC-Free & Ozone-Safe

The Carrier 16TJ is a single-effect absorption chiller designed specifically for cooling applications where low-pressure steam is available as a waste heat source. It provides an environmentally friendly cooling solution by utilizing a water/lithium bromide cycle instead of chlorine-based refrigerants, making it ideal for facilities looking to reduce their electrical footprint or diversify their energy sources.

  • Cooling Capacity: 350 to 2,500 kW.

  • Energy Source: Low-pressure steam (Supply pressure: 50 to 100 kPa).

  • Refrigerant: HFC-free (Ozone-safe and CFC-free).

  • Ideal for: District steam systems, industrial waste heat recovery, and locations with limited power grid availability.

  • Environmental Impact: Significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing electricity consumption.

Single effect steam fired absorption chiller

Transform low-pressure steam and waste heat into high-efficiency cooling. With a capacity range of 350 to 2,500 kW, the 16TJ series provides a quiet, vibration-free solution for facilities where power grid access is limited but performance is non-negotiable

  • Waste Heat Recovery:  Optimized for low-pressure steam (50–100 kPa), making it the perfect choice for district heating and industrial plants.

  • Whisper-Quiet Design: Engineered without heavy mechanical moving parts to ensure silent, vibration-free performance for sensitive environments.
  • Sustainable Cooling:  100% HFC/CFC-free operation using a natural water-lithium bromide cycle to eliminate ozone depletion.

What makes the 16TJ model different from a standard electric chiller?

Unlike traditional chillers that use electricity to drive a compressor, the 16TJ is an absorption chiller that uses thermal energy (low-pressure steam) as its primary power source. It is an ideal solution for facilities with access to waste heat or where the electrical grid is limited.

Does this product use environmentally harmful refrigerants?

No. The 16TJ is HFC-free, CFC-free, and ozone-safe. It utilizes a natural cooling cycle consisting of water (refrigerant) and lithium bromide (absorbent), significantly reducing the carbon footprint and global warming impact compared to vapor-compression systems.

Is the 16TJ suitable for high-vibration or noise-sensitive environments?

Yes. Because the 16TJ does not utilize large mechanical moving parts (like compressors), it offers quiet, vibration-free operation. This makes it an excellent choice for hospitals, office buildings, and hotels where noise reduction is a priority.

What is the maintenance requirement for the 16TJ's vacuum system?

The 16TJ features a high-performance purge system that maintains the necessary internal vacuum pressure. This advanced design is so efficient that it typically requires only one purge operation per season, even during year-round operation, minimizing routine maintenance tasks.
