MINNEAPOLIS—New McQuay scroll-compressor Templifier water heaters reduce energy costs by recovering waste heat and making it available for space heating and domestic hot water. Ideal for hotels, McQuay Templifier units with scroll compressors range from 500 to 3,000 MBh and can heat water up to 160° F (71° C) compared to 140° F for competitive units.
The Templifier’s hermetic scroll compressors feature low sound levels for quiet operation and use R-134a refrigerant, which has no ozone-depletion potential or phase-out schedule. The McQuay Open Choices control feature allows easy integration with the building automation system of choice using BACnet, LonTalk or Modbus open standard protocols. An optional hot-gas bypass allows unit operation down to 10 percent of full-load capacity.
“Templifier units are primarily economic machines,” said Eddie Rodriguez, product manager, McQuay scroll and screw chillers. “They provide heat at a lower cost than burning fossil fuels and generate a very good return on investment. They offer COPs (coefficients of performance) of four to five, and often pay for themselves in one year or less. This innovative heat recovery technology can reduce CO2 emissions by hundreds of tons annually and significantly reduces a facility’s carbon footprint. In addition, Templifier water heaters can help building owners earn LEED points by improving the efficiency of their heating systems.”
Because Templifier units heat water more economically than either fossil fuel or electric-resistance heaters, they can reduce the burden on boilers and/or cooling towers, thereby eliminating or delaying a capital equipment expense when increased heat production is needed.
