With over 50 years in Ammonia refrigeration, one question comes up regularly, “Can we use the waste heat from our refrigeration condensers?”. The answer then was yes technically it’s possible but financially not viable.
Now Industry is being encouraged to reduce their carbon “foot-print” and reduced the burning of oil and gas. Rising gas prices has sharpened focus on alternative heating source.
Heat pumps now have a major role to play as a source for heating, especially the recent development in High-Temperature Heat Pumps. Now it is technically and financially viable to reuse the condenser waste heat.
Thermal storage of hot fluid is a critical component of these high temperature systems. Our Q Tank is specifically designed as part of the thermal storage infrastructure.
Coopertec can provide end to end support for your transition into heat pump technologies for industrial applications. Incorporation of waste heat recovery and thermal storage are often paramount to an effective end design.
