For an industrial customer, we have supplied and installed two ammonia heat pumps. Together, these systems provide more than 3,100 kW heating capacity at a water outlet temperature of 87 °C. In this way, they provide a powerful and sustainable solution for upgrading residual heat within the production process.
Installation with a high temperature process
The heat pumps consist of:
- 1 industrial ammonia heat pump of 2.2 MW
- 1 ammonia heat pump of 920 kW
Both systems are designed to deliver water at 87 °C, a temperature that is directly applicable in various plant-specific processes.
Reheating residual heat from 56 °C to 87 °C
The customer delivers a residual warm-up stream with a temperature of 56 °C. This heat is efficiently upgraded by the heat pumps to
87 °C. The recovered hot water is reused elsewhere in the factory for other process steps, significantly increasing the site’s overall energy efficiency.
Significant climate and cost savings
By utilizing residual heat that would otherwise be lost, the installation significantly reduces the energy demand from fossil sources. This results in:
- a substantial amount reduction of CO₂ emissions
- one structural savings on energy costs
- one sustainable heating supply within the factory
With this heat pump installation, they are making a direct contribution to the customer's sustainability goals and to a better climate.
