AquaCity Poprad GREEN technology – our success
Thermal energy – heat and energy from thermal water is used for:
heating of pools and using thermal water in pools
heating of all premises via floor heating and fan coils
pre-heating of drinking water in bathrooms via heat exchangers
Heat pumps – energy from cooled water is used in heat pumps for pools, floor heating and fan coils again
Heat pumps are modern, progressive and ecological source of energy
Solar energy – photovoltaic cells located on the facade of Blue Sapphire pools produce clean electricity
Cogeneration units – can run on natural gas or bio gas and produce electricity and heat heat as a by-product is used in our heating system progressive and environmentally friendly source of electricity and heat (in proportion 1:2)
AquaCity Poprad GREEN technology – our success
During this presentation only would nearly 500 kg of CO2 be produced if AquaCity would not
utilise thermal and solar energy.
Join us saving our planet and environment for future generations.
It doesn't cost the Earth to be at AquaCity.
