In detail
The AC500 is designed to provide comfort cooling in residential and commercial buildings as well as process cooling for commercial and industrial applications. The size of a US family fridge, approved for outdoor installation, it is self-contained, air cooled and runs on natural or propane gas-fired. Unlike its competition, it performs well in high ambient temperatures (up to 52°C) and uses proprietary heat recovery technology to provide the highest operating efficiency in this size range. The AC500 represents the future of absorption cooling.
