- YHAP-C absorption heat pumps use waste heat energy found in industrial facilities and delivers high-temperature water for district heating.
Maximizing Efficiency by Design
YORK® Absorption Heap Pumps use a variety of driving heat sources,to save energy and water while also reducing CO2. It is the ideal solution for district heating and industrial process heating applications. The innovative two-step evaporator and absorber technology provides more efficiency and reliability than conventional designs. Two types are available to meet the needs of different heating applications.
Benefits
OPTIMIZED EFFICIENCY
YORK® YHAP-C Absorption Heat Pump uses an innovative two-step evaporator and absorber to improve efficiency and reliability.
DESIGNED FOR FLEXIBILITY
With two types available and designed for multiple driving heat sources, these absorption heat pumps are ideal for a variety of industrial heating applications.
MINIMIZED TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
Superior engineering, support and service simplify the operating cycle and reduce the cost of ownership.
Two-step Evaporator and Absorber
YORK® YHAP-C Absorption Heat Pumps are uniquely designed with a two-step evaporator that has two pressure levels to divide the absorption process. The chilled water flows in tubes through the two evaporators while concentrated lithium bromide solution is distilled in the absorber shell-side in the opposite direction. This reduces the solution concentration and overall pressure, making the unit more efficient and reliable than conventional absorption chillers.
See how it works
Type I: Driven by High-temperature Driving Heat Source
The Type I heat pump, also referred to as a heat amplifier, is driven by a high-temperature waste heat source in the generator section and a low-temperature waste heat source is fed into the evaporator section. With these two heat sources, the Type I provides useful medium temperature heat from the absorber and condenser section. The Type I unit provides a COP as high as 1.7, delivering up to 95°C (203°F) hot water for various heating applications.
Type II: Driven by Medium-temperature Driving Heat Source
The Type II heat pump, also referred to as a heat transformer, is driven by a medium-temperature waste heat source in the generator and evaporator sections. This unit transforms and provides small, useful, high-temperature heat from the absorber section. The rejected heat from the condenser can be used as the cooling water for other applications. The Type II heat pump with a COP of 0.47 can deliver high-temperature hot water up to 140°C (284°F), which is ideal for industrial processes.
