When you use a hybrid heat pump to heat water to 80-95 degrees C, your energy cost for producing hot water may often be reduced by three to five times, depending on your existing energy recovery system.

The Hybrid heat pump uses a working pair of pure water and ammonia. This natural refrigerant and has no negative environmental effect on the ozone layer or global warming. By using this heat pump you save energy and money in addition to reduce the CO2 -emission from your company.

We deliver two types of hybrid heat pumps, depending on the company need. Single stage or two-stage hybrid heat pump.

A single stage hybrid heat pump is very suitable for companies needing hot water / high temperature heat having waste heat from e.g. cooling towers or oil coolers. Read more about the single stage heat pump at Nortura Rudshøgda in Norway here.

If you need hot water and also prefere water for cooling, a two-stage hybrid heat pump may be favourable. The installation at TINE Nærbø in Norway is a two-stage heat pump. You can read more about the two-stage heat pump here.

Energy savings and emission reduction

Until now we have delivered 3 hybrid heat pumps to Nortura (largest company in the meat industry in Norway). At Nortura, Rudshøgda, the cost of the complete energy recovery system, including the hybrid heat pump, was paid back in about 2 years. The hybrid heat pump at Rudshøgda was started in 2007.

These three hybrid heat pumps at Nortura saves about 8 GWh each year. Since these heat pumps substitutes fossile fuel, the emmisions is reduced by 2000 tons CO2 per year.

The reduction in energy use is equivalent to about 530 households for heating in Norway (at 15000 kWh per year).

The payback is usually between 2-4 years for these installations.
