Gas Engine Driven Chillers

Thanks to extensive research in recent years, the modern packaged gas engine chillers offer a number of advantages:

  • Efficiency throughout a broad operating range
  • Ability to use the heat from the engine (jacket and exhaust) to produce hot water for further cooling from absorption and/or for use in desiccant systems
  • Reduction in greenhouse gas production compared to electricity, especially coal fired electricity
  • Lower peak electricity demand during summer
  • Lower operating costs

A reciprocating gas engine replaces the electric motor in a conventional vapour compression chiller.
