ET22SCE0001 - Refrigerant heat harvesting for process and sanitary water / steam generation demonstration and performance evaluation

The proposed project is an extension of an existing SCE EP project being implemented that is designed to enhance grid reliability, replace high GWP refrigerants with ammonia and/or carbon dioxide, improve efficiency, process optimization, and achieve decarbonization goals at a large bakery site. The proposed SCE Idea implementation is focused on evaluating and applying underutilized (M-HTHP) to take advantage of: 1) free energy from low GWP refrigeration waste heat and 2) deliver a substitution option for traditional boilers.
