Ecowec wasteHEAT The Ecowec wasteHEAT is an energy-efficient complete solution for property heating. The system combines traditional district heating with the significantly energy-efficient Ecowec wastewater heat recovery system.
Finnish-made Ecowec hybrid exchanger is a maintenance-free tube heat exchanger suitable for waste water, pool water, process liquids and steam. Ecowec hybrid exchangers are manufactured for different uses in several size categories and from different materials.
Dozens of implemented projects in Finland already since 2014. In residential properties, hotels, spas, swimming pools, hospitals, universities and industry.
The smallest Ecowec hybrid exchanger is designed for about 10-30 apartment properties. and the largest Ecowec hybrid exchangers for about 40-60 apartment properties. Multiple Ecowecs can be connected to the same system if the property has more apartments and residents.
But what is the difference between a heat exchanger and a hybrid exchanger? How much energy can be recovered from wastewater? How long does it take for the heat exchanger to pay for itself? Check out the frequently asked questions about our products!
Harnessing the power of wastewater heat recovery is the prime way to significantly reduce your building's energy footprint.
The Ecowec® hybrid exchanger can be seamlessly integrated into industrial processes or steam lines to capture waste heat, operating as an independent device. This waste heat is then either channeled back into the process or utilized for building heating passively and even without any electrical consumption.
The hybrid exchanger is connected to a heat pump, which collects and recycles the energy lost in waste water or in the process back to the use of the property or industrial process, and thus reduces the need for new purchased energy. The heat pump enhances heat recovery and expands the number of applications by raising the recycled energy to the desired temperature level.
The power and yield, as well as efficiency, of the buildings' energy pole system can be increased by adding an Ecowec hybrid switch to the system. In addition, it can replace several tens of energy poles, so that despite the investment, the total costs of the system will not increase.
The efficiency of geothermal systems can be improved by adding an Ecowec hybrid exchanger, which raises the temperature of the geothermal solution, improves the efficiency of the heat pump, and reduces the electricity consumption of the heat pump. The hybrid exchanger can replace several geothermal wells, so the geothermal system can also be installed on a small plot of land.
In new apartment buildings, the purchase energy of the district heating system can be reduced by up to 50%, when the waste water heat is recycled back to heating the property and hot water. In a district heating property, the hybrid exchanger is connected to a heat pump, which reduces the peak power of district heating and the need for purchased energy.
The energy output, power, and efficiency of an exhaust air heat pump can be increased by adding the Ecowec® hybrid exchanger to the system. By combining two waste heat sources, the purchased energy of the property's primary heating system, such as district heating, natural gas, or oil heating, can be reduced.
Harness the power of not just wastewater but also pool water, exhaust air, process fluids, steam, and condensate with our Ecowec hybrid exchangers. Adaptable to all property types and heating systems, Ecowec is your ticket to revolutionary energy-saving.
