Recovering Heat from Refrigeration Systems

SPAR-HEAT is designed to recover waste heat produced during the refrigeration process and convert it into usable hot water. Instead of rejecting this heat into the atmosphere, the system captures the energy and transfers it into a stainless steel cylinder for use across daily operations.

The system uses double-walled spiral heat exchangers to recover heat safely and efficiently, generating hot water at temperatures up to 60°C. Where higher temperatures are required, immersion heaters can then boost the stored water up to 85°C.

*Example annual recovered value is based on heating the full vessel volume once per day, 365 days per year, using a 50°C temperature lift and an energy cost of £0.25/kWh. Actual savings depend on refrigeration duty, runtime, hot water usage, energy costs and site conditions.

Why Choose SPAR-HEAT?

SPAR-HEAT helps businesses make better use of energy that would otherwise be wasted during refrigeration. By recovering this heat and converting it into hot water, the system can reduce energy consumption and support lower operating costs.

The stainless steel cylinder is designed for long-term performance, with double-walled spiral heat exchangers providing safe and efficient heat transfer. This makes SPAR-HEAT suitable for applications where hygiene, reliability and energy efficiency are important.

With capacities from 150 to 3000 litres, SPAR-HEAT can support a wide range of sites, from smaller systems through to larger commercial and industrial refrigeration applications.
