Initial situation
Positive cold : R404a system – Recoverable Power = 19 kW (desuperheating)
Negative cold : R404a unit – Recoverable Power = 10 kW (desuperheating)
Proposal / study
Heat recovery package for equipment of the 2 refrigeration systems
1 000L TiT tank
20 kW destratification air heater located in the retail area
Forecast return on investment at time of study : 8years
