Dual-Media thermal storage
High Temperature Storage in a FoundrySensible thermal energy storage up to 220°C
• Replacing oil by cheap solid
material (e.g. rock) reduces costs
• Direct thermal contact between
solid material and HTO enables
good heat transfer
• Storage capacity can be increased
by using suitable solid material

Standard CHP-Unit in combination with a Single-Effect chiller
• state of the art
• decentral placement of CHP-Unit and chiller possible
• low efficiency and unflexible chiller process

Adapted CHP-Unit in combination with an Double/Single-Effect chiller
• direct use of flue gas by the double effect chiller and simultaneous use of hot water by the single
stage increases the efficiency
• flexible supply with heating and cooling energy increases runtime of CHP-Unit
• CHP-Unit and chiller are more complex and no decentral placement possible

• industrial area with hot and chilled water network in southern Germany
• hot water demand: 7500 MWh annual / 3 MW peak
• chilled water demand: 4000 MWh annual / 1.5 MW peak

• Knowledge about waste heat situation and potentials
• Knowledge about technologies (costumer, planner)
• To get knowledge is costly without direct cost advantage
• High investment costs for waste heat recovery systems
• Investment is economic but payback time expectations often not realistic
• Suitable financing models are rare
• Main goal is production not energy efficiency
