Production Processes

Every production process in industries like food-industry, textile, mining wood, etc… needs either hot water, air conditioning, cooling, waste-water treatment or some or all of them at the same time. In South Africa the only conduction-bound energy is electricity, there is no gas grid like in Europe as an alternative source of energy. Escom power is unreliable, expensive and is getting more expensive every year. This hurts all industry sectors, leads to production interruptions and makes a solid return planning very difficult.
The use of efficient heat pumps can reduce dependence on the national grid in all industrial sectors.

In special cases, the grid can be largely replaced and degraded to a backup system with the help of alternative energy generation (photovoltaics, wind, new storage technologies…). Our heat pumps are able to produce and provide heat, cold and DHW simultaneously. If hot water is required simultaneously in a production process, e.g. in the food-sector, and the product is then stored in a cold room, the heat extracted during cooling can be used to produce the hot water. Only any difference quantities must be then supplied /dumped by/to an external source/dump like ambient air or ground.
