Renewable and Waste heat valorisation in Industries via Technologies for Cooling production and energy Harvesting

Solutions developed

RE-WITCH will develop and demonstrate innovative thermally-driven technologies, based on i) a new generation of ADsorption chillers, more compact and less expensive, to be either directly integrated in the process or provided in a containerized solution along with air compressors and ii) 2 new working cycles of ABsorption chillers, integrating a mechanical compressor providing both heating and cooling as well as a dual evaporator/absorber providing cooling at different temperature levels and thermal powers.​ And more, read on the website!

Main results

Objectives: Integration of renewable heat or industrial waste heat in heat-to-cold conversion systems to generate cold for industrial processes, with targets to advance the technologies readiness level in terms of capacity and temperature + Valorisation of low-grade waste heat and high-efficiency renewable sources for the future industrial cooling provision, Identify the target industrial processes, assess the impacts on these processes in terms of energy savings and GHG and air pollutant emissions reductions.
