Babineau presents his experience with two projects integrating CO₂ heat pumps in dairy/cheese plants in Quebec, Canada. The system design challenge in these projects emanates from the different temperatures required during the dairy/cheese production process. In the first project at Fromagerie Polyethnique, a MAYEKAWA CO₂ heat pump provides hot water for washing as well as chilled water for the maturing room, milk storage and crystopia storage ice bank, saving an estimated 105,000 liters of propane fuel per year. The yearly energy savings estimation from the second project at Fromagerie Fritz Kaiser is even higher, amounting to about 125,000 liters of propane fuel. Here the plant gets more benefit out of the CO₂ heat pump unit by covering more heating needs in the building: despite washing water, the heat is also used for pasteurisation and production processes.
