HybridChiller (FAHRENHEIT GmbH)

HybridChiller: Cooling with adsorption and compression.

For the first time, adsorption and compression cooling technology are integrated into one unit: Introducing the HybridChiller.

The HybridChiller combines the energy efficiency of adsorption technology with the precision and power of compression cooling. The advantages include the ability to cover peak demands without investing in excess adsorption capacity, or to deal with fluctuations in available drive heat. The integrated controller optimally adjusts the operating parameters of the entire system under any combination of temperatures and loads.
The HybridChiller brings to bear the advantages of both technologies. This enables new applications, and new levels of efficiency: The efficiency is demonstrated by an outstanding ESEER value of 19.6.
The HybridChiller can be combined with all our adsorption chillers.

The HybridChiller provides the right cooling power at all times for all load scenarios. Based on the cooling requirements and available waste heat, the intelligent control system decides whether to use compression and adsorption in monovalent or bivalent mode depending on the situation. Therefore even peak loads can be covered with extreme precision and without delay.

The new HybridChiller N elevates this innovative solution to an even more environmentally friendly level by using natural refrigerant.

FAHRENHEIT is a pioneer in adsorption technology. Based in Germany, we design and manufacture the most advanced adsorption cooling devices on the market. We apply innovative research to delivering energy efficient cooling solutions. Our products have made their way into hundreds of installations worldwide across a diverse range of industries and applications.

FAHRENHEIT was founded in 2002 as a spin-off from Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE). From the very beginning, research and technological excellence have been the pillars of our company. Our original research coupled with a keen awareness of our customers’ requirements resulted in ground breaking patents in energy solutions.

We develop and manufacture innovative and efficient solutions to generate and store cold anywhere cold is needed and waste heat is available. Adsorption chillers by FAHRENHEIT can be used wherever there is residual heat available. Our cooling technology reaches a new dimension of energy efficiency because it does not rely on electrical power for cooling.

Our chillers and our adsorption modules are widely used in industrial manufacturing, for air conditioning, in data centers, in solar cooling and in various other applications. They are also ideally suited for combined heat and power plants – turning them into tri-generation units –, and they can save substantial amounts of energy and CO₂ emissions in mobile applications such as cars and transport cooling.
