For this reason, there have long been efforts by governments to promote the procurement of energy-saving chillers. Adsorption chillers are now making an increasing contribution to improving the energy efficiency of chillers and air conditioners. German companies like InvenSor GmbH, with offices in Berlin and Lutherstadt Wittenberg, are pushing this development.
