Sam Gladis presents one of Emerson's projects where food processor Krafts Food has installed an industrial ammonia heat pump at one of its US food processing facilities as a sustainable alternative to the use of fossil fuels for sanitary hot water production. Renewing the use of the heat rejected from their ammonia refrigeration system, the industrial heat pump reduced Krafts’ heating energy costs by 61%, reduced site energy consumption for heating by more than 79%, reduced condenser water consumption by 15 million gallons per year, and delivers a host of additional operational and maintenance savings. This presentation provides a description of the project, the expected results and savings, a detailed system description, experience with the operation and maintenance of the system, actual results, recommendations and conclusions.
