 Introduction

History of Trane Absorption Chillers

Trane has been the leader in absorption chiller design and manufacturing for 40
years. Dedicated to the advancement of absorption chiller technology, Trane is the
only North American chiller manufacturer to commercialize double effect absorption
over 25 years ago. Since then, Trane has manufactured and shipped over 10,000
absorbers to commercial, industrial and process applications worldwide. Innovations
such as microelectronic controls, adaptive frequency drives and smart purge systems
have modernized the technology, making it more capable, more reliable and in many
applications, more economical.

Why Trane Absorption

Makes Sense
Engineers and owners who are planning
new chiller plants, expanding systems or
processes, or replacing older
refrigeration equipment, are more often
considering the absorption option. The
use of absorption chillers is on the rise
due to their increased reliability and the
benefits of hybrid chiller plant design.
The absorption chiller has earned the
reputation as a viable alternative to the
electric chiller or in the example of a
hybrid installation, a viable counterpart
to the electric chiller.
Operates With Either Water or
Steam Source
Absorption is particularly appropriate in
cooling applications where there is a low-
pressure steam or hot liquid source, a
waste heat recovery option, or in areas
where electric rates or demand charges
are high. The Trane Classic single-stage
absorption chiller is designed to use
steam at pressures up to 14 psig and at
temperatures to 340°F, or hot water
temperatures up to 270°F. These chillers load on the machine. This reduces the can be expected in low temperature

Figure JC-1 illustrates a typical steam

the appropriate hardware.
The steam supply piping should be
designed in accordance with good
design practice, providing strainers,

A hand valve in the steam supply piping
is recommended when the machine will
be out of operation for an extended
period. The modulating steam valve
may experience a small amount of
leakage during shutdown. This leakage
may result in heating of the equipment
room unless the machine is properly

 Jobsite Hot Water
Connections Piping

Hot Water Piping Figure JC-2. Hot water supply temperature piping – 270°F and below with 3-way energy valve
The hot water system must be designed
so as to avoid fluctuations in the
pressure differences across the control
valve. Trane absorption chillers for use
with hot water may be used at entering
hot water temperature of 270°F (132°C)
or below. Piping for a typical hot water
installation using a temperature of 270°F
(132°C) or less is shown in Figure JC-2.
In this arrangement a three-way energy
valve is used to control capacity by
varying the quantity of hot water flowing
through the chiller while maintaining a
constant supply and return flow rate. As
shown in Figure JC-3, a two-way energy
valve can also be used where the return
and supply flow rates can vary. The
generator design is rated to 150 psig
(10.3 bar) with a 400 psig (27.6 bar)
optional design available. Figure JC-3. Hot water supply temperature piping – 270°F and below with 2-way energy valve
When the supply water temperature
exceeds 270°F (132°C), a separate
circulating pump is recommended in a
run-around loop as shown in Figure
JC-4. The hot water for the absorption
machine should be taken from a header
installed between the hot water supply
and return mains. The flow of hot water
through the machine is held constant,
but the temperature of the circulating
water is varied to meet load
requirements by modulating the amount
of high temperature supply water added
to the loop. This is done by installing a
two-way modulating valve at the loop
outlet. The valve responds to the chilled
water temperatures, but limits the water
temperature entering the machine to a
maximum of 270°F (132°C).
Hot Water Valves
Trane provides hot water temperature
control valves with the machine for
installation by the contractor at the job
site. These valves are selected by The
Trane company based on data provided
by the contractor (*i.e. water flow to be
used and the design pressure drop
across the valve.)
It is desirable to use the smallest valve,
with the highest pressure drop,
appropriate to the design water flow and
allowable pressure drop in the system.
The smaller the valve, the better the
control.

Connections Water Piping

Cooling Water Piping Figure JC-5. Cooling water piping with cooling tower
The cooling water piping design for
absorption chillers differs from
conventional reciprocating or centrifugal
systems in that cooling water passes
through the absorber section of the
machine prior to entering the condenser.
The single stage absorption chiller is
designed to start and operate with
cooling water temperatures as low as
55°F (12.8°C). In typical applications, the
machine is selected on the basis of the
cooling water temperature that will be
available at full-load and at the design
outside conditions. In air conditioning
applications utilizing a cooling tower, this
is usually 85°F (29.4°C).
With a cooling tower sized at design
Figure JC-6. Cooling water piping, three-way mixing valve
conditions, the temperature of the
cooling water supply to the unit will
decrease with any decrease in cooling
load or outside wet bulb temperature.
The lower cooling water temperature
would normally tend to increase the
capacity potential of the unit. In the Trane
design, the UCP2 adaptive controls will
limit the energy input of the machine
based on the entering cooling water
temperature, thereby preventing
overfiring of the machine.
In typical air conditioning applications,
precise cooling water temperature
control is not required. In process
applications, however, where extremely
close control of leaving chilled water is
required, it is recommended that a tower Figure JC-7. Cooling water piping with well or river water
valve be used to maintain cooling water
temperature at a specified temperature.
Constant cooling water temperature
allows the unit control valve to more
precisely control leaving chilled water
temperature. Also, in applications where
well water or other cooling water will be
available at a temperature below 65°F
(18.3°C), a control valve is recommended
to maintain the temperature at 65°F
(18.3° C) or above. Changes in
