HEAT RECOVERY

SPAR-HEAT is a durable stainless steel cylinder designed to recover waste heat in a safe and efficient manner, generating hot water at temperatures of up to 60°C. Immersion heaters can then boost it up to 85°C.

Recovering heat from the refrigeration process…

Fabdec has pioneered heat transfer technology in stainless steel since 1960, producing vessels for all industries in our UK manufacturing facility.

Every refrigeration system is effectively a heat pump. The refrigerant changes state during the cooling process and the compressor creates an excess of waste heat, which is rejected into the atmosphere.

The goal of heat recovery is to capture this waste heat and convert it into free hot water.

SPAR-HEAT is a durable stainless steel cylinder with double-walled spiral heat exchangers designed to recover the waste heat in a safe and efficient manner, generating hot water at temperatures of up to 60°C.

Immersion heaters can then boost it up to 85°C.

Stainless steel cladding is also an alternative for outdoor installation.

How SPAR-HEAT fits into the refrigeration circuit

A diagram to show how a SPAR-HEAT fits into the refrigeration circuit.

Heat Exchanger Coil

The heat exchanger consists of an outer tin-plated spirally wound high-finned tube, and an inner (refrigerant side) copper tube. The double-walled structure prevents the possibility of drinking water from mixing with refrigerant oil, meeting DIN standards EN12897 and PD5500.

We also manufacture custom-made thermoplates…

Using our state-of-the-art laser heat exchanger plate welding machine, the only one of its type in the UK, we can manufacture plates to the optimum efficient design for heating or cooling.

These are supplied as single plates or as manifolded assemblies.
