Nevertheless, in Central Europe where many of these chillers are installed, the required cooling period of buildings is rather short. By using them as a heat pump during winter time their operating period can be extended in order to shorten the payback period and increase the cost effectiveness, and at the same time, the benefit to the environment is increased. From a thermodynamical point of view it is possible to run a chiller also as a heat pump, but in practice there are restrictions in application due to the dependency of the driving temperature and the temperatures of heat source and heat sink. Using the example of a 10 kW H2O/LiBr absorption chiller, constraints of and demands on different possible peripheral systems (heat sources and heat sinks) for the reversible operation have been investigated. In the paper we present combinations which are favorable, and others which should be avoided from a primary energy point of view.en620 Ingenieurwissenschaften und zugeordnete TätigkeitenAbsorptionChillerHeat pumpHeat sourcesReversible operationSinksThermally drivenBook Part
