Star Refrigeration supplies world’s largest natural heat pump

Mar. 09, 2010 – The world’s largest natural heat pump for district heating has over 14MW power, can save 15% of energy and uses ammonia as the refrigerant. Renowned for its expertise in the field of natural refrigerants, UK-based Star Refrigeration is designing and manufacturing the system for a town in Norway and sees the project as a major step towards natural refrigerants.

Having been honoured with the “contractor of the year 2009” award for its “ground-braking installations and pioneering approach to the use of natural refrigerants” from the rac magazine (refrigeration & air conditioning), Star refrigeration is about to take it to the next level. The company is right now in the design and manufacturing process of a large heat pump that will deliver over 14MW of heat at over 90°C. The system components are specifically designed for NH3 and pressures up to 65bar. A special design and the application of cutting edge technology will deliver 3-fold heating capability compared to an electric heating system.
