REVAMPING OF AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Production Facility
Objective of the project:
o Replacement of the existing gas heating system and contextual installation
of a cooling system
o Installation of an air heat pumps with a size of 365 kWt wall heaters,
destratificators, electrical and hydraulics distribution system
COGENERATION: Headquarter building
Project Objective:
o Energy

o Improvement of the existing process cooling system
Solution:
 Installation of a Tri-generation plant with a size of 400 kWe
The thermal energy, recovered from the motor cooling system and from the flue gases
in form of hot water, feeds an absorption chiller that produces chilled water. The chilled
water feeds the distribution manifold of the existing cooling system. The electrical
energy is dedicated to self consumption
