A double lift absorption chiller (?ThermoChiller?) has been installed in the Aurora Ice Museum at Chena Hot Springs, Alaska. The ThermoChiller runs on 163 degrees F hot spring water, and provides 15 tons of ?20 degrees F chilling. This will allow the Ice Museum to stay frozen year round, and thus allow summer visitors to experience winter amenities at the resort. The ThermoChiller was custom designed to deliver very cold chilling from a low temperature heat source, by using a double lift ammonia absorption cycle.
