Two QUANTUM chillers as heat pumps generate a heat output of 1,807 kilowatts each under full load conditions.
More and more companies are replacing fossil heat generation with geothermal energy, heat pumps and waste heat recovery – reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and cutting primary energy consumption in production. For its own production at the plant in Rastatt, Mercedes Benz relies on ENGIE Refrigeration's heating solution from geothermal energy and heat pumps. In addition to energy from geothermal energy, the company from the automotive industry uses waste heat from production processes for its daily operations.
Geothermal energy and heat pumps? The perfect team!
At the heart of the holistic concept for production from geothermal energy and heat pumps are two QUANTUM chillers, which are used as efficient heat pumps with a heat output of 1,807 kilowatts each under full load conditions. The QUANTUM heat pumps deliver a guaranteed heat output of 1,807 kW each under full load conditions – powered by geothermal energy and waste heat from production, with operating performance continuously monitored.
