In a hypermarket in Buccinasco of a major Italian chain, two customized heat pumps of 250 kWt each have been installed to recover the thermal waste heat at 35°C developed by food counters and cold rooms and to produce hot water for heating and DHW at 80°C. This solution makes it possible to avoid the disposal of the heat produced by these chillers into the air and to replace boilers and consequently reduce its CO2 emissions. This solution employs innovative technology that enables:
(i) Saving on the bill
(ii) reduce the ‘primary energy
(iii) Reduce harmful emissions to the atmosphere.
This solution is replicable in all those commercial settings with similar conditions (e.g., availability of thermal waste and need for hot water to be used for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) production
