In addition to heat and steam supplies from bioenergy, the topics of cooling, air conditioning and ventilation have become increasingly important in recent years.
An interesting solution is absorption cooling technology, where cold water is generated from heat via heat exchangers and can be used for air conditioning or the cooling of processes.
The smart use of absorption cooling technology makes it possible to convert excess heat from the operation of CHP plants for cooling during summer months, thereby substantially improving plant and processl efficiency.
An alternative to absorption cooling comes from vapour compression cooling technology, which is particularly competitive when consumption fluctuates heavily or use is sporadic.
