Summary

In Punta Cana, waste heat from energy company CEMP's power plant is sent to nearby hotels to provide chilled water and domestic hot water. Absorption chillers, provided by BROAD, are used for cooling. A heat exchanger provides domestic hot water. The large delta T, 90 degrees F, was harnessed to serve two purposes, high quality heat to run the chillers and domestic hot water generation. The cogeneration process resulted in a 25% decrease of electricity consumption for the hotels.
