CHILL

Cooling Systems

Transform waste-derived heat into cooling power using absorption chiller technology. Provide air conditioning and refrigeration without electricity.

How CHILL Works

The X-150 produces thermal energy that drives an absorption chiller, converting heat into cooling capacity through a thermally-driven refrigeration cycle.

1

Heat Generation

X-150 gasification produces thermal energy (hot water 70-95°C or steam) from waste feedstock with 75-85% efficiency.

2

Absorption Cycle

Thermal energy drives an absorption chiller using lithium bromide/water or ammonia/water working pairs to produce chilled water.

3

Cooling Delivery

Chilled water (5-12°C) is distributed to HVAC systems, process cooling, or cold storage facilities via insulated piping.

Real-World Applications

CHILL configuration solves critical cooling challenges in hot climates and industrial applications

Commercial Buildings

Hotels, hospitals, office buildings, and shopping centers in tropical climates use waste-derived cooling to eliminate expensive electric air conditioning costs.

Problem Solved: High electricity costs for AC (40-60% of total)

Benefit: 70-80% reduction in cooling costs, grid independence

Industrial Process Cooling

Food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and data centers require constant cooling. Waste-derived chilling provides reliable, low-cost refrigeration.

Problem Solved: Energy-intensive electric chillers, peak demand charges

Benefit: Waste valorization + process cooling in one system

District Cooling Networks

Urban developments and industrial parks deploy centralized waste-to-cooling systems, distributing chilled water to multiple buildings via underground pipes.

Problem Solved: Grid overload from AC demand, urban heat islands

Benefit: Scalable cooling infrastructure, waste management solution

Why Waste-to-Cooling?

Economic Advantages

  • Eliminate peak electricity demand charges from AC
  • Convert waste disposal cost into cooling asset
  • Hedge against rising electricity prices

Environmental Benefits

  • Reduce grid electricity demand and fossil fuel generation
  • Eliminate HFC refrigerant emissions (absorption uses water/LiBr)
  • Circular economy: waste becomes cooling resource
