Cal Rovira

Customer requirement

Cal Rovira was looking for a highly energy-efficient solution capable of simultaneously and autonomously managing the thermal demands of the drying system installed in the range of -5 to 90ºC, overcoming operational limitations and reducing operating costs.

Solution proposed by GasN2

Implementation of a subcritical cascade heat pump, with variable load sink.

Benefits of the solution

  • Simultaneous and independent production of heating and cooling

  • Autonomous thermal management for complete and efficient control of each phase of the process.

  • 100% natural refrigerants

  • Use of environmentally friendly hydrocarbons, guaranteeing sustainable operation free of polluting gases.

  • Custom design and manufacturing

  • Personalized equipment that adapts to the company’s needs, processes, and available space.

  • Regulatory compliance

  • Exempt from F-Gas restrictions, guaranteeing a secure investment free from future bans.

  • Commitment to the environment

  • Net Zero technology that drives industrial decarbonization by eliminating fossil fuel combustion.

Results

  • Domestic hot water (DHW) is produced at 80°C using a cascade circuit with a condensing capacity of 17.7 kW and natural refrigerants (GWP < 5). The COP in dual mode is 3.2.

  • Its use can be extended to industrial heating, DHW in processes with temperatures up to 80°C, and industrial cooling.

  • Electricity consumption is reduced compared to traditional separate heating and cooling solutions, thanks to the simultaneous use of both demands in a single high-efficiency heat pump.

  • The environmental profile of the installation is improved by using very low GWP refrigerants and eliminating direct combustion in the drying process.
