Great recovery!
- Making the case for investing in chillers with heat recovery potential
- Payback can be as fast as two years
Refrigeration systems cannot make heat disappear – they just move it from one place to another. It is possible to recover some or all of this heat for useful heating of air or water.
The refrigeration process includes a heat rejection stage to cool the refrigerant for reuse in the cycle. The heat is given up at the condenser and can be recovered and re-used.
