Advantages of thermally driven air conditioning

Thermally driven air conditioning is an enhanced version of a traditional HVAC system. It uses solar energy to drive the cooling effect. It reduces reliance on electrical energy as the primary way of powering your unit, making it a good alternative in remote locations. It also has massive popularity in regions where electricity is easily accessible, but you would like to cut back on your energy expenses or reduce your carbon footprint. While this technology has been around for years, ongoing advancements have improved the functionality to a point where it is now considered a highly cost-effective way to reduce energy use, carbon emissions and to help combat climate change. One of the major advantages of thermally driven air conditioning is its lower costs. Gas prices are lower today compared to electricity prices. Thermally driven chillers provide cooling at lower energy costs than electricity-driven compressors as they utilize gas and solar to run. Thermally driven air conditioning provides baseload capability as it can be fired by both gas and solar. The combination of solar and gas means that chillers can meet firm cooling load factors or cooling requirements without necessarily requiring backup. They are also reliable as they have few moving components and a far longer estimated lifespan than electrically driven mechanical vapor compressors. Thermal-driven air conditioning is backed up by solar and natural, which are not prone to blackouts or rationing. Solar-driven double chillers provide more air conditioning than comparative photovoltaic systems. Waste heat can also be harvested easily and used as a free pool to heat where appropriate.
