Partial heat recovery system in Kr3B units, designed for the production of hot water between 35ºC and 70ºC, using the heat generated in the refrigerant-water heat exchanger. COMPONENTS INCLUDED EQUIPMENT (HITECSA) DSH Refrigerant-water heat exchanger (desuperheater) integrated in the discharge pipe. Ti/To Inlet and outlet temperature probes at the water side of the desuperheater.
Kr3B REVERSIBLE WATER CHILLER VARIABLE AXIAL FAN OPTIONAL / ACCESSORIES – PARTIAL HEAT RECOVERY OPERATION WITH V3V: When the Kr3B unit requires cooling, with at least one of the compressors running, the circulation pump (BP) will start. If, after a while, no signal is received from the flow switch (FS), the water pump will stop and an alarm signal will be emitted.
