Central Room 2 An introduction to Integrated Energy Systems for aquatic centres Negawatt Projects and Scantec have partnered to produce an Integrated Energy System for aquatic centres. These systems utilise high efficiency ‘water to water’ heat pumps that produce useful heating and cooling from the one unit. This is industrial equipment that reduces the amount of plant in these aquatic centres, operate very efficiently and have lifespans that are multiples of the heat pumps currently used in this market. In Europe these heat pumps have been widely used for over 40 years however their use has been overlooked before now due to the low cost of gas in Australia. Now that gas prices have achieved parity with electricity it is time to revisit this technology and see what energy gains can be made using the low grade heat that is available to most aquatic centres. The bottom line is that these systems are efficient, low maintenance and long life and this also allows for solar PV systems to make a meaningful difference in centre running costs. These systems can be retrofitted to existing centres or can be installed to new builds: the largest energy gains are achieved when new centres are designed to take advantage of the benefits of these systems. This session discusses heat pumps, CoPs, reliability of industrial heat pumps, GWP and how these systems are configured for aquatic centres.
