Life Cycle Assessment of Gas District Cooling Plant Absorption Chiller at Universiti Teknologi Petronas

In this project, main components for absorption chillers system were evaluated based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Materials and manufacturing processes of main components of the chiller were identified. Main components for absorption chiller are high temperature generator, low temperature generator, condenser and absorber while main parts for each of the main component are shell, tube, plate supports and eliminator blade. Shell, tube and eliminator blade are made from stainless steel whereas tubes are made of copper. These materials and manufacturing processes then were analyzed to identify the environmental effect by using GaBi 4 Education software due to the limitation of data.
