Field installation
The main components are assembled ex-factory as a compact unit which fits inside the bodywork of the
compressor. Consult your dealer for installing and connecting the energy recovery unit.
5.2 Energy recovery systems
General
The energy recovery systems can be applied as low temperature rise/high water flow systems or as high
temperature rise/low water flow systems.
Low temperature rise/high water flow systems
For this type of application, the temperature difference between the water in the energy recovery system
and the compressor oil is low. As a consequence, a high water flow is needed for maximum energy
recovery.
Example: The heated water is used to keep another medium at a moderately high temperature, in a closed
circuit, e.g. central heating.
High temperature rise/low water flow systems
For this type of application, a high water temperature rise in the energy recovery system is obtained, which
consequently brings on a low flow rate.
Example: An open circuit where cold water from a main supply is heated by the energy recovery system
for use in a factory, e.g. pre-heating of boiler feed water.
