The new heat pump uses water – but could use some ammonia mixed in – as its refrigerant, and can produce temperatures up to 180°C.
The Budapest South Gate project will use riverbank-filtered water for cooling and geothermal water for heating, achieving very high COPs.
His low-charge ammonia designs for centralized industrial systems have been widely adopted.
The system will be linked to a district energy-sharing system that uses 100% renewable energy and is carbon neutral.
AHRI tested 15 SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers over three years, with a 100% success rate.
The 5.2MW ammonia heat pump solution will support a district heating network, with a COP of up to 3.34.
Saltum Fjernvarme’s ammonia air-to-water heat pump has a COP of more than three, even at 0°C ambient temperature.
Baltimore Aircoil Company’s new Nexus Modular Hybrid Cooler also features an optional water disinfection system.
Swedish manufacturer, partnering with Stena Recycling, aims to recycle less efficient models.
