Smolensk Academy of Physical Culture — two 1,100 kW absorption chillers
In brief. At the Smolensk State Academy of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism, two 1,100 kW Thermax 5G 4L C absorption chillers run on hot water from the boiler house. There are four MTU gas engines on site.
At the Smolensk State Academy of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism, cooling is provided by two Thermax 5G 4L C lithium bromide absorption chillers of 1,100 kW each. They run on hot water from the academy's own boiler house. The contract was signed in March 2013, and the equipment was delivered in January 2014.

What was the task?
The academy's sports facilities need cooling, and its own boiler house supplies hot water. The engineering logic is simple: cooling is produced from this water instead of from electricity.
How does the scheme work?
Hot water from the boiler house
The site has both gas engines and a boiler house. The diagram shows the general case with both sources, while the academy's chillers, according to the sources, run on hot water from the boiler house.
What was the result?
Cooling is produced from the boiler house hot water. The materials give no figures on the effect.
