Single-effect hot water-fired absorption chiller
16LJ / 16LJ-F

Nominal cooling capacity : 80-4 000 kW

The Carrier 16LJ & 16LJ-F single-effect absorption chillers are designed to provide chilled water from waste heat sources generated from industrial processes and cogeneration systems.

  • Complete range 80 to 4 000kW
  • HFC-refrigerant free
  • Hot water source from COPr up to 0.78
  • Designed for cooling applications where low-pressure steam is available as waste heat
  • Absorption chillers allow diversification of critical cooling requirements. Critical cooling loads are met with minimal electrical power input
  • Allow smaller emergency generators compared to an electrical driven chiller
  • Ozone-safe and CFC-free. Cooling requirements are met without chlorine-based refrigerants
  • Absorption chillers reduce the contribution to global warming and minimize the global impact by greatly reducing electricity consumption and production of greenhouse gases
  • The solution inhibitor has no impact on the environment
  • An absorption chiller does not utilize mechanical moving parts, and this leads to quiet, vibration-free operation
  • The use of high-efficiency heat transfer surfaces has reduced the space required for installation of the absorption chiller, resulting in a smaller footprint



  • Expert self-diagnosis function to monitor operating conditions, predict chiller information and maintain stable operation
  • Predictive maintenance information
  • Carrier control system
  • Fast digital PID control stabilizes the chilled/ hot water temperature with high accuracy. It quickly responds to the load fluctuation and supplies stable chilled/hot water temperature. It is suitable for air-conditioning intelligent buildings which require sophisticated control
  • High-performance purge system maintains the required operating pressure and minimizes chiller maintenance to one purge operation per season (for year-round operation)
  • Hot-water valve opening control
  • Expansion of safe operating zone
  • Crystallization protection
