10.4 Total energy recovery
A configuration which enables the production of hot water free-of-charge while operating in the cooling mode, thanks to the partial recovery
of condensation heat that would otherwise be rejected to the external heat source.
Hot water availability is always subordinate to the production of chilled water.
See the following example:
Refrigeration capacity request

100%

Production of refrigeration capacity only

Production of refrigeration capacity and Production of heat capacity using recovery
50%
100%
Production of refrigeration capacity and Production of heat capacity using recovery, equals 50%
of the heat capacity request
To prevent constant switching in the unit’s refrigeration circuit, it is necessary to install a storage tank with an adequate capacity in the
system’s hot water circuit.
In the absence of hot water circulating in the recovery exchanger, the maximum entering air temperature is reduced by approximately 2°C
compared with the unit without “Total Energy Recovery” mode.
A - Total operating energy recovery
When hot water is requested, the condensing coil is deactivated. Condensation takes place wholly within the recovery circuit.
B - Total non-operating energy recovery
When the recovery set-point has been satisfied, the condensing coil is reactivated. In this condition, the total recovery circuit operates as a
Partial recovery circuit (Desuperheater).
