District Heating (DH) is currently experiencing a renaissance in the UK. According to reports, District heating in Denmark, currently heats over 60% of homes with that number rising to 95% in Copenhagen.
The Solutions provided by Thermax leverage green fuels, waste heat etc, and thereby reducing carbon footprint making us a trusted partner.
District heating company Hasle in Denmark placed an order with Thermax for a 1500 kW Low Temperature hot water driven Heat Pump. The heat pump is based on the twin type hot water chiller design and will be used for district heating application.
Hammel, a district heating
company in central Denmark placed an order for one heat pump. This twin type hot water gas driven heat pump will be used in district heating.
Silkeborg in Denmark placed an order for 2 nos.x7000 kW single effect steam driven heat pumps and 2 nos.x12000 kW double effect steam driven heat pumps. The hot water is used for district heating application. This will be the first project where flue gas condensation heat is received on the back of two Frame 9, GE turbines.
The key advantages of District Heating compared to individual gas
fired boilers is that DH can deliver heat in a more efficient manner, more cheaply and with lower carbon emissions. It does this mainly by capturing thermal energy or heat that would otherwise be wasted. This wasted heat is primarily created as by product of generating electricity in power stations. Usually this is ejected into the atmosphere (via cooling towers) or to rivers. However, by generating electricity in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants the wasted heat can be recovered and used in a DH network.
DENMARK CHOOSES THERMAX FOR A ZERO CARBON FUTURE
Mundra Solar PV Limited (Adani Group), Gujarat placed an order with Thermax for five Double Effect Steam Driven Chillers, each of capacity 2000TR. For the
working of the chillers, the steam is extracted from the customer’s coal based power plant boiler. The chilled water is used for production area air-conditioning application
and also part of chilled water will be consumed in the solar PV production process.
Conventionally, copper, copper nickel or stainless steel tubes are employed in the chiller’s absorber and condenser section, but since Mundra Solar uses sea water directly, corrosion resistant titanium tubes are being used.
The Adani Group is one of India’s leading business houses. Adani has grown to become a global integrated infrastructure player with businesses in key industry verticals - resources, logistics and energy.

Thermax has once again gained
the trust of IFFCO (Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited) by
bagging a huge order from them for
five vapour absorption chillers.
IFFCO is the world's largest
fertilizer cooperative federation
based in India which is registered as
a Multistate Cooperative Society. The
absorption chillers shall be supplied
at different IFFCO plant locations in
North India for various applications.
Out of the five chillers to be
supplied, two Low temperature hot
water driven chillers of 800 TR will
be supplied to the IFFCO Aonla plant
in Utter Pradesh in their CO2-Urea
plant for CO2 cooling and HVAC
applications.
For their Kalol plant, Thermax
will be supplying a 400 TR steam
+ jacket water driven chiller which
will be used for CO2 cooling
applications.
For the IFFCO Phulpur plant, one
400 TR Low temperature hot water
driven chiller will be used for CO2
cooling application. Along with that
Thermax will also be supplying a
2000 TR Low temperature hot water
driven chiller for Gas Turbine inlet
air cooling application. Apart from
supplying of the chillers, Thermax
will also be doing Balance
of Plant (BoP).
Further strengthening our foothold in Bangladesh, Thermax received a major order from Ismail Spinning Mills Limited for five chillers. Out of the five chillers, three chillers of capacity 627 TR are double effect steam driven chillers and two chillers of capacity 310 TR are hot water driven chillers.
At the spinning mill, the temperature and humidity are to be maintained at particular levels in the production area. The spinning mills have rotors operating at high rpm, hence generating heat. As the temperature increases, the humidity
levels reduce significantly therefore calling for a humidification plant which increases the humidity. In this case if the temperature and humidity levels go up the cotton is boundto absorb moisture in the atmosphere
hence hampering the quality of the fabric yarn.
The chilled water produced from Thermax’s absorption chiller will be used to maintain temperature and humidity of the production area.

TECH TALK
Q. Please introduce your Ultra
low pressure Vapour driven VAM
technology. What is the one
special feature of your product
that sets you apart from others?
The Ultra low pressure Vapour
driven VAM technology uses
very low pressure water vapour
(close to atmospheric pressure of
1.01325 bar) as the heat source
for running the Vapour Absorption
machine.It can also recover the
water which otherwise emitted
into the atmosphere as vapour.
This technology also use low
pressure water vapour along with
non-condensable gases (like
air,nitrogen etc)
Q. In what type of applicationscan
it be used?
This technology can be used
in food processing industries
like Potato chips frying, Noodles
etc. where lot of water vapour at
atmospheric pressure is emitted
through the chimney.This can
also be used in Chemicals and
Petro chemical industries where
the emitted low pressure water
vapour along with some non-
condensable gases can be
recovered through cooling tower
water.
Q. Please tell us about the most
innovative, or the latest, case
study involving this technology
A leading food and beverage
company placed an order
with Thermax for an Ultra-low
pressure absorption chiller for
their manufacturing plant in
India. The company was involved
in the manufacture of potato
chips. Potato has 75% water
content and upon frying it gets
converted into low pressure
vapour. Generally this vapour is
released in the atmosphere with
the help of an Induced Draft fan
inside the chimney. Thermax’s
500 TR absorption chiller utilizes
this vapour to provide air-
conditioning in the production
area of the facility which otherwise
would have been let off in the
atmosphere. The condensate from
absorption chiller is utilized for raw
potato washing and thus resulting
in substantial savings.
Q. What savings are achieved
on average and what are the
installation costs and return on
this investment in comparison
with other conventional chillers?
Through this technology,
Thermax encourages the
customer to make energy-saving
cooling choices and shortens
the payback time.The savings
in power consumption is 2.9
million units per annum, while
the carbon emission savings per
annum is 4000 tons on a VAM of
500 TR (1750 Kw) which is used
for air-conditioning application.
By utilizing this technology the
customer is also able to achieve
water savings of 24000 m3 /hr.
Q. In which industries/region do
you see the biggest potential for
this Ultra low pressure Vapour
driven VAM technology and why?
This product can have good
potential in Food processing
industries across the globe where
air conditioning and process
chilling are required.
Q. What technology, product
or innovation do you plan to
introduce to the market next?
Our innovation team is
currently working on the High
efficiency double effect
absorption chiller.
