Using wastewater heat for heating and cooling buildings
- Wastewater heat recovery
- Use of wastewater as a sink for cooling buildings
- Sustainable building heating
- CO2-free heating and cooling
The supply for heating buildings and for local and district heating networks is usually provided by combined heat and power plants in which fossil fuels are burnt. For economic and ecological reasons, fossil fuels are being reduced more and more. The temperature and heat potential in municipal and industrial wastewater offers the possibility of being utilized, provided that suitable and resistant heat exchanger technology such as the HUBER ThermWin system is applied.
In addition, the ever increasing cooling demand in urban regions due to the effects of climate change can be solved by heat removal into the wastewater. Compared to wet cooling towers or air cooling units, wastewater heat exchangers offer many advantages in terms of operating costs and integration into the urban landscape.
The HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin has a unique self-cleaning feature to keep the heat transfer from the wastewater or into the wastewater constant at all times.
