The heat pump WPG 80-1 HTT/H heats the spaces of a renowned Austrian winemaker chain. Their wine reaches far beyond borders into various industries, including aviation. For heating and cooling the Kattus Sekt wine cellar with the KRONOTERM heat pump, they decided to harness waste heat from the champagne production process. The operation of the heat pump is quieter than the popping of sparkling wine. A good device is one that performs its task so seamlessly that we hardly know it’s there.
Initially, the Kattus Wine Cellar did not have a suitable solution for effectively utilizing previously unused waste heat generated during sparkling wine production. The old cooling system caused excessively high cellar heating costs and was insufficient for wine cooling. The company opted to replace it with a system that allows the exploitation of waste heat. The heat generated in production is used by the KRONOTERM heat pump to cool the wines in the cellar.
Large industrial facilities, like Kattus in Austria, are focused on production, making it essential for them to have no worries about potential repairs and regular servicing and to always have spare parts readily available. Importers of foreign heat pumps may require waiting for several months for spare parts. We take pride in being a European supplier with in-house production, ensuring quick availability of all KRONOTERM heat pump spare parts.
A recognized chain of wine cellars used oil for heating its industrial plant. It was an expensive, wasteful, and environmentally unfriendly heating method that did not harness the generated heat. They were bold and determined to find a solution, and they found it with KRONOTERM heat pumps. KRONOTERM heat pumps are developed for European climate conditions.They operate even at temperatures down to -25 °C without increasing operating costs. We suggest taking a bold step and entrusting your heating needs to the experts.
The KRONOTERM heat pump WPG 80-1 HTT/H enables heating the entire wine cellar solely with waste heat generated during the cooling of sparkling wine production. Previously, this heat was wastefully released into the air, incurring high costs for heating the wine cellar and cooling the wine. With the adapted solution, Kattus Sekt maximizes the use of waste heat to its full potential. For such a significant and large company, this represents significant savings and a crucial and unique investment that will pay off in 3.7 years.
