SHARCModel PIRANHA Series -Wastewater Heat Recovery & Cooling System

SHARE

The PIRANHA Wastewater Heat Recovery & Cooling System is a specialized water-to-water heat pump that recovers energy directly from wastewater and uses this source energy to produce hot water. Typically used for potable Domestic Hot Water (DHW) purposes, it can also be used for hydronic heating or alternate hot water demand purposes.
