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.
