Mr Derek Moore of Johnson Controls division of Sabroe
His company manufacture and test run BIG machines which as every body knows makes fluids cold to be used in cooling many applications from foods, to air conditioning, ice rinks, etc etc, But the condenser side of the refrigeration system is then used to heat water for many processes such as industrial cleaning of abatoirs, building heating, manufacturing processing etc etc
With the dramatic rising costs of carbon fuels, (which will never go down!) this heat out put is"free" and even cheaper still than direct heating due to the COP values achieved through heat pump technology.
ie:- 1KW power in gives up to 6KW power out, so these systems can give a payback on installation in maybe 3 years.
