The range of combined heat and power plants (CHP) is very large, as is the high variance of different plant types. The distinction is made by the generated power/heat output on the one hand and by the energy source used on the other. For all CHP plants, a large number …
Energy efficiency
More efficient heating with WIKA sensors and heat pumps
| Sabine Mai | GeneralThe working principle of a heat pump is basically identical to that of an everyday appliance known to all of us: the refrigerator. However, while the refrigerator removes heat from its interior and gives it off to the environment, the heat pump removes heat from the …
Refrigeration systems with higher energy efficiency through accurate pressure control
| Sabine Mai | PressureDue to the worldwide rising energy costs, the energy-efficient operation of refrigeration systems becomes a must. According to estimates, more than 90% of the refrigeration systems worldwide are not yet equipped with continuous control. They have been optimized and …
