Heat recovery chiller technology offers to substantially reduce both the carbon emissions and water consumption footprints of district heating-cooling plants by offsetting site fossil fuel combustion and cooling tower water consumption. Practical obstacles associated with its’ performance constraints and initial capital and operating expense have often prevented its application. This situation may be improving.
This presentation provides a case study of opportunities and challenges involved in applying heat recovery chiller technology to existing central heating and cooling districts.
