HEAT RECOVERY AND UTILISATION SYSTEMS
Refrigeration equipment can be an additional heat source for heating and hot water supply. Heat recovery systems can reduce heating and hot water costs by at least 40-50%. Equipment for heat recovery from refrigeration units allows you to use the heat energy for other purposes without increasing electricity consumption.
Principle of operation and types of heat recovery systems
≫ Using superheat from the compressor
This method requires an additional heat exchanger in the refrigeration circuit. It allows you to use up to 20% of the heat produced by the refrigerator. The superheated compressed gas can be used to heat air or water up to 80-90°C.
≫ Heat recovery during refrigerant condensation.
This method can recover significantly more heat energy. However, this heat is of low power, so it is only possible to heat air or water up to 30°C.
In a simpler version of the heat recovery system, two manually switched condensers are used. One of them is used in the warm season and the other in the winter. In more complex versions, automation and one condenser with heat removal channels are used, which can be directed to the recuperator or outside.
BMSERVICE has implemented an innovative solution, namely a heat recovery and utilization system using a transcritical cycle on carbon dioxide. The CO2 recuperators of this system allow you to heat water to high temperatures (over 80°C) and use it for heating, hot water supply or in technological processes.
