Heat Pumps Today
Summary
Following the signing of a new 25-year contract, the energy teams at Veolia UK are set to manage low carbon heating and cooling supplies for the new district energy network serving the prestigious Consort Place development on the Isle of Dogs, London.
The Team will manage the entire system and deliver energy supplies from the energy centre to each customer on a yearround 24/7 basis. As space heating and hot water accounts for about 21% of total UK carbon emissions, the baseload for the low carbon energy comes from the latest water source heat pump technology with water cooled chillers providing the cooling load. To optimise efficiency, heat is recovered from the chillers’ condensers circuits, before the cooling towers, to feed the cold side of the heat pumps. This should guarantee delivery of 850kW of heating and 600kW of cooling to the network that will serve around 20,000 people including residents, hotel guests and other building users.
