Cooling and heat pumps
Turning cooling into an energy resource
Data centres and industrial processes need reliable cooling. The waste heat generated at the same time can be a usable energy resource when its temperature matches local demand. Tehoasema designs cooling and heat pump solutions as part of the entire energy system – free cooling, liquid cooling, heat exchangers, intermediate circuits, chillers, heat pumps, thermal storage and district heating connections.
- 01
Data centre or industrial process
The source generates a heat load that depends on operating conditions.
- 02
Cooling and heat recovery
Cooling and intermediate circuits can collect usable waste heat.
- 03
Heat pump raises the temperature level
The temperature level can be raised to meet the recipient's needs.
- 04
Heat offtake
Use is assessed for district heating, buildings or processes.
Benefits
What integrated cooling and heat pumps make possible
- Aiming for a lower total cost of cooling
- Potential for better energy efficiency
- Potential to use or sell waste heat
- Can support local acceptance
- Can be adapted to the Finnish district heating market
- Can support the development of fossil-free heat production
