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 Therma-Stor Heat Recovery System is recognized as the innovative leader in heat recovery technology.
A Therma-Stor Heat Recovery System recovers wasted energy and converts it to free hot water.
A typical cooling system removes heat from the area that needs to be cooled. Without a Therma-Stor Heat Recovery System, this removed heat, or energy, is just dissipated to the surrounding area or exhausted. It is wasted.
The Therma-Stor system uses this “waste” energy to heat water. The result is free hot water that can be used for dish washers, laundry facilities, cleaning, and more.
The Therma-Stor “hot plate” heat exchanger provides the maximum heat transfer surface area while minimizing the refrigerant pressure drop.
The “stratified” tank, with the hottest water near the top, allows for quick recovery and efficient heat transfer. This maximizes the availability of the hot water. Therma-Stor tanks also operate at low temperatures, maximizing efficiency and preventing scaling.
The industrial glass-lined water storage tank resists corrosion. It also has two replaceable anodes for extra protection. Plus, Therma-Stor tanks come with a full five-year warranty on the heat exchanger and water tank.
Therma-Stor hot water tanks are thoroughly tested and listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc (UL). They meet all codes required for double-wall vented heat exchangers. CSA approved units are available. Foam-in-place 2″ insulation (R16) meets ASHRAE 90 standards.
