01B / HEAT SOURCE STRATEGY
Choose the source.
Design the lift.
Air, water and recoverable waste heat each change the technical and commercial case.
SOURCE OPTIONS / CONCEPTUAL
AMBIENT AIR
Variable source
WATER LOOP
Available flow
WASTE HEAT
Recovered energy
HEAT PUMP
Useful heat to site
THE APPROACH
Efficiency follows the temperature lift.
Air‑to‑water and water‑to‑water describe how heat is collected and delivered. Waste heat is a source opportunity that can feed a water‑to‑water system. The available source temperature, flow and operating hours determine the achievable performance.
WHAT WE DO
01
Air-to-water
Takes heat from ambient air to produce hot water. Straightforward to site, with performance varying by weather and water temperature.
02
Water-to-water
Takes heat from a suitable water or glycol loop. Source temperature and flow can be steadier when a reliable loop exists.
03
Waste heat recovery
Uses rejected heat from cooling or processes. A warmer usable source can reduce the lift and improve COP, subject to site conditions.
SYSTEM THINKING
A smaller lift can mean a better COP
Source temperature / Required outlet temperature / Flow / Hours of availability
HOW A PROJECT MOVES
01
Identify sources
02
