Abstract
The article discusses the application of absorption cooling and heating technologies, which have significant prospects for implementation in energy sector, various industries, comfort air conditioning systems for buildings for various purposes, etc. in the Republic of Khazakhstan. The results of studies on improving the energy efficiency of equipment operation at a pilot facility in the Republic of Kazakhstan – Zhanazhol gas turbine power plant (GTP) by using absorption chiller (AC) for the air cooling system at the entrance to the GTP are presented. Using the example of a large metallurgical enterprise in the country – Aksu ferroalloy plant – a branch of JSC TNC «Kazchrome», was made an assessment of the possibilities of using AC and absorption heat pumps (AHP) at various facilities of the enterprise. Examples of successful application of AC in central air conditioning systems of hotels, shopping centers, business centers in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan are considered.
