Engie launches new heat pump, chiller model
01 February 2022
Engie Refrigeration, a unit of French energy giant Engie, is expanding its product portfolio with the launch of its new model, Spectrum Water. It will be available worldwide both as a water/water heat pump for hot water temperatures of up to +68 deg C and as a water-cooled chiller for brine applications providing up to -10 deg C.
This will allow the refrigeration and heating specialist to reach new customers and areas of application, especially in the heating supply field, says the company.
As a heat pump, the new Spectrum Water is suitable not just for commercial and industrial heating applications, but also for integration into heat networks, district solutions and housing development concepts.
Engie Refrigeration has played a pioneering role in the international refrigeration industry for many years – above all with its Quantum Air and Water chillers.
CEO Jochen Hornung says: “At Engie Refrigeration, we expedite the transition to climate neutrality. We focused on this aim when developing our Spectrum Water. And we achieved it in exemplary fashion: as an ecologically sustainable alternative to boilers that run on fossil fuels.
“Our new model contributes to the decarbonisation of heat generation. We help our customers achieve their own climate targets, and through this collaboration we play our part in the heating transition.”
The new model is based on the technology of Quantum Water, which is claimed to be the most efficient water-cooled chiller on the market. It features innovative technology components, oil-free compressors with magnetic bearings, flooded shell and tube condensers, an open-flash economiser integrated as standard, and an intelligent Siemens S7 PLC. As a result, it offers outstanding energy efficiency, operational reliability and power density. The oil-free machine design guarantees stable performance and efficiency throughout the system’s service life, along with low maintenance requirements.
With 12 basic models in total, the Spectrum Water heat pump offers a heating capacity of 360 to 3,000 kW for hot water temperatures; the chiller offers a refrigeration capacity between 200 and 1,200 kW for refrigeration applications.
