Cold from Heat Cooling and Heating

Environmentally-friendly Compact Silent

SorTech AG
Adsorption Chiller ACS 08/ACS 15
Technical data at nominal working point
The compact adsorption chillers ACS are available in
two sizes: ACS 08 and ACS 15 with 8 kW and 15 kW
nominal cooling capacity respectively. Key application
is cooling and air-conditioning of small to medium sized
domestic and commercial buildings and processes.
Solar, district and waste heat as well as cogeneration
units are equally suitable for driving the process. By
combining several modules larger cooling capacities
can be achieved.
Driving temperatures as low as 55C are sufficient to
generate cold. With silica gel and water (refrigerant)
the chillers use particularly environmentally-friendly
materials.
The ACS is offered in combination with the tailored re-
cooler RCS. The optimized subsystem achieves high
overall energy efficiency of 10 and beyond. The ACS
can alternatively be combined with other re-cooling
solutions (wet cooling tower, bore holes, etc.).
In the heat pump mode the ACS can also be used for
heating applications, enhancing the efficiency of
traditional heating systems by up to 50%. Ambient air
(in connection with the RCS), solar heat or geothermal
energy can serve as low temperature energy sources.
Driving energy ist hot water, similar to cooling mode.

EC-fans Water spraying system Integrated control by ACS
Re-cooler unit RCS 08/ RCS 15
The SorTech RCS with latest EC-fan technology has
been tailored for an energy optimized operation in
connection with the adsorption chiller ACS. The re-
cooler is equipped with a fresh water spraying system
for temporary lowering the re-cooling temperature and
increasing significantly the efficiency and cooling power
of the chiller during high ambient temperatures.
An integrated control concept the RCS is controlled
directly and according to demand by the ACS leads
to an optimized and coherent subsystem with an easy
interface.
The subsystem achieves a high cooling performance
while optimizing the demand for electrical energy and
fresh water. Depending on the conditions, an overall
annual system efficiency of 10 and more is feasible
(cold production/electrical power consumption).
