Air conditioning and chillers with heat recovery for new high-tech building in Jena – energy-efficient system design with low-GWP refrigerant R-1234ze
ENGIE Refrigeration is driving innovation in the high-tech location of Jena - with QUANTUM chillers for air conditioning a modern company building and with QUANTUM chillers with heat recovery (Green Heat Recovery) for heat generation.
- Three water-cooled QUANTUM W3030-T6I00-1313 chillers are used for the building's air conditioning. Heat is generated by two water-cooled chillers with heat recovery, which efficiently supply the new building with energy.
- The refrigerant used, R-1234ze, is characterized by a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) value and is therefore future-proof.
High-tech locations promote the economy in a variety of ways and set new standards in terms of innovation. Advanced technologies contribute to their success; this includes reliable cooling and heating technology in particular. This is due to the fact that the flawless operation of equipment and thus production quality depend heavily on compliance with specific temperature specifications. When planning and constructing high-tech new buildings, it is therefore all the more important to consider the air conditioning of the building as well as heat generation, for example by installing chillers with heat recovery, from the outset. A leading global provider of optical and optoelectronic solutions followed this example when building its new high-tech location in Jena, Thuringia. This creates space for all development units as well as for the majority of the local production and administration areas.
Chillers with heat recovery: high energy efficiency through integrated waste heat utilisation
As the new building stands for modernity, openness and innovation, energy-efficient cooling and heating technology – combining waste heat recovery and a low-GWP refrigerant – is a must. Three QUANTUM Water chillers ensure reliable air conditioning of the building. QUANTUM Water is a water-cooled chiller series from ENGIE Refrigeration that is designed for industrial refrigeration applications and offers defined technical performance characteristics. When generating heat for new buildings, two water-cooled QUANTUM chillers with heat recovery develop their full potential and support the customer in significantly reducing primary energy consumption through smart waste heat recovery. The experts for cooling and heating ensured the technically flawless operation of the chillers with and without heat recovery in advance on their own test bench in Lindau. ENGIE Refrigeration was also responsible for the delivery and commissioning of the systems. These run with the long-term available refrigerant R-1234ze, which is a safe choice with regard to the F-Gas Regulation. In short: thanks to reliable building air conditioning and energy-efficient chillers with heat recovery, the customer is ideally positioned for the future.
