FAQ

What energy sources can BROAD chillers use?

Natural gas, diesel, heavy oil, biogas, solar energy, hot water, exhaust gas, steam, etc.
Some BROAD chillers, such as the gas-fired BZ model, provide "three functions in one": cooling, heating and domestic hot water.

What are the minimum chilled water and cooling water temperatures?

For absorption chillers: 5 °C min. for chilled water and 10 °C min. for the cooling water inlet.
The Maglev centrifugal chiller (C model) can produce chilled water from 3 °C.

What is the adjustable flow range for chilled water and cooling water?

50 to 120% for chilled water and 30 to 110% for cooling water.
The BROAD control panel provides the control signal for variable flow.

What is the adjustable load range of the chiller?

5 to 115%. The chiller load adjusts automatically to the fan coil load, under PLC control.

What are the COPs (coefficients of performance) of BROAD chillers?

> Direct-fired absorption chiller: 1.42
> Double-effect hot water / steam / exhaust gas absorption chiller: 1.50
> Single-effect steam absorption chiller: 0.79
> Single-effect hot water absorption chiller: 0.76

Do you stock spare parts in Europe?

Yes, we have a spare parts warehouse in France.

Do you make ammonia absorption chillers?

No. BROAD only uses lithium bromide (LiBr) solution in its absorption chillers and has no plans to make ammonia absorption chillers.

What is the refrigerant in BROAD absorption chillers?

Distilled water.

What is the delivery time?

Usually 22 weeks door to door after order confirmation, and as little as 13 weeks in some cases.

Do you supply hot water valves?

For its hot water chillers, BROAD offers 2-way and 3-way hot water valves.

Do you supply exhaust gas valves?

For its exhaust gas chillers, BROAD offers an exhaust gas valve as an option.

BMS interface (BAS)

BROAD offers dry contacts, Modbus RTU, BACnet and LonWorks.

What is the standard warranty period?

12 months from commissioning OR 18 months from shipment.
BROAD offers extended warranties of up to 30 years.

Can you deliver the chiller in separate parts?

If access to the machine room is limited (or for container transport), the chiller can be delivered in separate parts. In general, chillers above 1,000 kW are split into 2 parts: the main shell and the high-temperature generator. 3 pipes must then be connected on site.

What is the maximum water pressure?

The standard pressure limit for the water boxes (chilled, heating and cooling water) is 0.8 MPa (up to 2.0 MPa as an option) for absorption chillers, and 0.8 MPa for the oil-free Maglev centrifugal chiller.

Do you have a monitoring system?

We provide 24/7 remote monitoring for the entire service life of the chiller. An internet connection is required; if no wired connection is available, Wi-Fi can be used.
