This presentation focuses on the Drammen Heat Pump, one of the world’s largest natural heat pumps for district heating, which Star Refrigeration designed and manufactured to deliver 14MW of heat at over 90°C and to save 15% of energy consumption. The system components are specifically designed for NH₃ and pressures up to 65bar. This presentation describes its special design and the application of cutting edge technology to deliver 3-fold heating capabilities, compared to an electric heating system.
