Cooling & Heating Division - Cooling SBU
The Cooling SBU of THERMAX promotes Vapor
Absorption Chillers as a cost effective and
environment friendly alternative to electricity
driven compression chillers.

It offers expert solutions in Process Chilling & Air

Conditioning for industrial as well as commercial
applications. Cooling SBU's strength lies in
customized solution as per the requirement of the
customers.

Unlike electrical chillers, Absorption Chillers are

powered by heat.These machines can run on a
variety of heat sources, e.g. steam, hot water,
liquid/gaseous fuels, exhaust gases and/or a
combination of above.

LiBr concentration % 62-64 63

Unique state-of-the-art concentration control and

display that virtually eliminates crystallization and
is distinctly different from the auto decrystallization
offered by other manufacturers. This permits the
Vapor Absorption Chillers to run smoothly even at
0
10 C cooling water inlet temperature.

4.
Variable frequency control on absorbent pump for
higher reliability & savings in Power, especially during
part load operation.

Double seal vacuum isolation valves and bolted

pumps to facilitate machine mounted pump
maintenance without any loss of vacuum in the
system due to exposure to atmosphere.

50% of machines exported to more than 70 countries
