Lithium bromide absorption heat pumps are generally classified into Type I and Type II systems. For detailed classifications and specifications, please refer to the Product Introduction section on our website.
Absorption heat pumps are especially suitable for factories with a stable waste heat source above 80 °C. However, they require a relatively large amount of waste heat and are best utilized in applications with steam demand. A prime example is the overhead condenser of a distillation column in chemical plants. This location offers a high thermal load at a relatively low temperature, making it ideal for heat recovery.
By integrating an absorption heat pump, it is possible to generate steam without additional energy input, effectively reducing steam consumption and minimizing cooling water usage in the overhead condenser.
Typical applications can be found in chemical processes such as cracking, distillation, and hydrogenation of aromatics and olefins.
When the operating conditions are favorable, the energy-saving potential is significant.
