16DF Direct Natural Gas- or Oil-Fired

Double-Effect Absorption Chiller/Heater

135-1000 Tons (475-3520 kW)

A cost-effective,

CFC/HCFC-free alternative.

Unlike vapor compression-type refrigeration systems, the 16DF operates without CFC/HCFC refrigerant and with minimal electricity. Instead, it draws the driving force necessary for operation from a lithium bromide/water solution, coupled with direct firing of natural gas or oil. The result? Economical, dependable, environmentally responsible water chilling/heating - and the sure-fire compliance with rapidly changing environmental codes that will allow your 16DF to operate right on into the next century.
