Description
Three outdated CHP plants on the one hand and an increasing demand for cooling on the other required the hospital to make new investments in its energy supply. In the first construction phase, the integration of the absorption chiller and extensive integration and optimization of the entire I&C and control technology ideally linked the generation of electricity, heat and cooling, thus achieving a significant increase in efficiency. The existing central cooling units were integrated as peak and reserve load systems and made partially load-controllable via speed-controlled drives. The addition of the free cooling option allows cooling for medical equipment in the winter months in a very energy-efficient manner. In the second construction phase, the two other CHP units and the steam boiler were replaced
