Heat Pump Chillers by Friulair

The HEN reversible industrial Heat pump chillers represent a highly efficient and sustainable solution for managing thermal energy in production facilities such as wineries and breweries, helping to achieve high productivity levels and optimize the quality of the final product. It is a multifunctional system that integrates cooling and heating, featuring a robust refrigeration circuit and a thermostatic expansion valve sized to meet a dual water set point of +7°C and -8°C. 

Heat pump chillers are versatile systems that provide both heating and cooling by transferring heat between a process fluid and the surrounding environment. These systems operate as a combination of a heat pump and a chiller, making them an energy-efficient solution for applications requiring simultaneous heating and cooling or flexible temperature control.

Heat pump chillers’ heat recovery capability allows for efficient energy use, especially in applications requiring simultaneous heating and cooling. These product offer low carbon footprint due to energy efficiency and the use of eco-friendly refrigerants in modern systems.

1.  1. Heating Mode

• The refrigerant absorbs heat from the environment (air, water, or ground) in the evaporator.
• The compressor raises the refrigerant's temperature and pressure.
• Heat is transferred to the process fluid or air in the condenser for heating purposes.
  

2.   2. Cooling Mode

• Heat is absorbed from the process fluid or space being cooled by the evaporator.
• The refrigerant releases this heat to the environment or another medium in the condenser.
  

3.   3. Simultaneous Heating and Cooling

• The system can provide heating and cooling at the same time by balancing heat rejection and absorption between the condenser and evaporator.

Friulair Heat pump chiller Chillers Key Features and Advantages

Energy Efficiency: Our chillers are designed to optimize energy consumption by using advanced technologies that reduce power usage and improve performance, ensuring efficient and reliable operation with significant operational cost savings. 

Dual Function: The unique feature of the HEN reversible industrial heat pumps is their ability to operate in both heating and cooling modes. This makes them ideal for facilities such as wineries and breweries that require precise temperature control throughout the production cycle. The ability to reverse the thermal cycle provides a single system for both functions, reducing installation complexity and costs. 

Reliability: The durability and reliability of our chillers are supported by the selection of high-quality materials and mechanical and electronic components from leading international brands in industrial refrigeration. The technical solutions employed, such as robust refrigeration circuits, advanced protection systems, and rigorous quality control and final testing: 

• ensure consistent reliability, 

• minimize machinery downtime, 

• reduce maintenance interventions, 

• lower long-term costs. 

Environmental Sustainability: As an alternative to the HEN range with R410A refrigerant, Friulair offers the LHEN range with the low-GWP refrigerant R454B. This makes our industrial heat pump a particularly suitable option for companies aiming to improve their environmental impact and comply with emissions regulations. 

Reduction in Operating Costs: With their high coefficient of performance (COP), industrial heat pumps guarantee significant savings in energy costs. Optimizing electricity consumption allows for a reduction in long-term operating costs. 

Versatility: With a wide range of available options, our industrial heat pump lines offer high configurability and versatility, allowing each unit to be tailored to meet the specific application and operational needs of our customers. 

Tailor-Made Design: Meticulous design ensures accurate sizing to the specific requirements of the client, allowing each unit to be perfectly integrated into an existing system or installed in newly built facilities without power waste. 

Design & Easy Maintenance: Our chillers are especially resistant to the elements and designed to facilitate inspections and maintenance tasks. Easily removable panels provide immediate access to system components. The clear arrangement of components, simple refrigeration and hydraulic circuits, and numbered electrical cables make routine operator inspections straightforward. 

Industry 4.0 Technology: Our HEN reversible chillers/heat pumps are equipped with electronic controllers featuring RS485 serial communication and Modbus RTU protocol, offering integration with automation systems and remote control for centralized management. 

Innovative Software: Each unit is equipped with proprietary software tailored to the specific functionalities of the range, meeting the needs of customers in a variety of applications.
