Knowledge Sharing: Refrigeration Heat Recovery System Working Principle and Application

Refrigeration heat recovery captures waste heat from compressor high-temperature discharge gas for reuse. The recovered heat can be used for hot water production, space heating or defrost auxiliary heating. Heat recovery exchanger is installed on discharge pipeline to absorb heat before refrigerant enters condenser. The system can cut additional boiler or electric heating consumption for cold storage supporting facilities. Heat recovery capacity changes along with refrigeration unit load and ambient temperature variation. Formal refrigeration factory evaluates waste heat potential and designs heat recovery scheme for large cold storage. Xindacool supplies heat recovery module as optional configuration for large industrial condensing units. Improper heat recovery control will raise condensing pressure and affect refrigeration cooling performance. Around 34% of large cold storage projects achieve obvious energy saving after installing heat recovery. Heat recovery pipeline needs thermal insulation to avoid heat loss during heat transmission. Safety temperature and pressure protection is required on heat recovery side of the exchanger. Heat recovery improves overall energy utilization rate and reduces comprehensive operating cost of cold room.

FAQ

  1. Q: Where does heat recovery system get usable heat? A: Waste heat from compressor high-temperature discharge refrigerant gas.
  2. Q: What are common applications of recovered heat in cold storage? A: Hot water supply, workshop heating and auxiliary defrost heating.
  3. Q: What risk comes from unreasonable heat recovery control? A: Increase condensing pressure and reduce refrigeration capacity.
  4. Q: What percentage of large cold storage gains energy saving via heat recovery? A: 34% of large cold storage projects obtain remarkable energy saving.
  5. Q: What measure reduces heat loss of heat recovery pipeline? A: Wrap thermal insulation layer on heat transfer pipeline.
