Capture waste heat energy from your refrigeration system to provide hot water while allowing your compressor to run more efficiently. Heat recovery system is a double-walled heat exchanger with water storage tank that captures lost heat from your cooling system to heat your water for free. The heated water is then stored in the system until it is needed. The Opti-Stor Heat Recovery System is recognized as the innovative leader in heat recovery technology.
In a milk cooling system without an Opti-Stor Heat Recovery System, the refrigerant removes the heat from the milk being cooled and that valuable heat escapes into the air. With an Opti-Stor Heat Recovery System, the refrigerant carrying the heat passes through the double-walled heat exchanger surrounding the water storage tank and heats up the water.
High quality, durable glass lining with two anodes for corrosion protection. The industrial glass-lined water storage tank resists corrosion and has replaceable anodes for extra corrosion protection.
The Opti-Stor Heat Recovery System also provides additional condensing surface which improves refrigeration efficiency because compressor efficiency goes up as condensing temperatures go down. The end result is faster cooling and prolonged compressor life.
The Opti-Stor is available in 80 or 120-gallon capacities. The Opti-Stor II-80 is designed for single compressor operation. The Opti-Stor II-120 is designed for one or two compressor operation. The Opti-Stor III-120 includes a thermostatically controlled 6,000 watt electric heating element to boost water temperature into the 170° to 180° range.
