Dedicated heat recovery.

Summary

The advent of the small scroll or screw chiller, capable of producing condenser water at temperatures as high as 60 °C, created an opportunity for recovering heat from a dedicated heat recovery chiller's condenser water circuit for heating or domestic water systems, while providing beneficial cooling for the chilled water system. These systems are called "dedicated" heat recovery systems because 100% of the heat generated by the dedicated heat recovery chiller (DHRC) can be used for hot water heating applications. Also, the DHRC can be piped and controlled to produce the desired evaporator or condenser temperature. The transfer of the recovered heat described in this article is limited to clean water applications, such as preheating, heating, reheating, domestic, pool water heating, or snow melting.
