Heat recovered from a chilled-water system can be used to generate hot water. This hot water can be used to heat the building, to heat service water, or as part of a manufacturing or industrial process.
In a traditional chilled-water HVAC system, heat is transferred from the indoors (at the air-handler chilled-water coil) to the outdoors (at the cooling tower) (Figure 4). Not only is this heat “wasted,” energy is consumed at the cooling tower and condenser-water pumps in the process.
Chiller standard features include:
Ability to simultaneously provide heating and cooling for a process or building. Chiller heat recovery exchangers are installed in the refrigeration system allowing the reclaim of heat from the system before it is discharged from the chiller
Standard hot water available during standard chiller operation is 115°F. Hot water is available up to 140°F
Flexibility in the design allows design engineers or clients to reclaim 20-90% of the heat from the system
Chiller Heat Recovery System is available in Series or Parallel configuration
Available Single or Dual chilled water circulation pumps with automatic pump rotation and change over
Standard R-407C Refrigerant with R-134A as optional
High efficiency Screw compressors with stepped or variable capacity control
Ideal for LEED Projects, Education Buildings, Hotels, Hospitals & Process Cooling
Heat Recovery Chillers are also available in water-cooled formats.
