Star Refrigeration’s new Envitherm is
an environmentally-conscious dualpurpose
heat pump that generates
hot and chilled water simultaneously.

It provides air conditioning in largescale
buildings that also have a high
demand for heating and hot water.

The pre-assembled unit generates
chilled water for air conditioning
systems, while simultaneously
producing hot water at temperatures
to 70°C for showers and taps.

Dave Pearson, director of
innovation, says: “Envitherm
essentially delivers ‘free’ hot water
with zero carbon emissions, as water
is heated as a by-product of the
water/glycol chilling process.When
configured to continuously deliver
hot water, the initial cost of Envitherm
will be recovered in less than 3 years.
