Heat Recovery: Driving Eco-Efficiency in Retail Refrigeration

Explore how R455A refrigerant technology transforms heat reuse in supermarkets

As the EU intensifies its CO₂ reduction targets, Honeywell presents real-world data showing how heat recovery from retail refrigeration systems can meet 100% of hot water needs and cover up to 59% of heating demand—without added condensing pressure or energy costs.

Key Insights:

Utilizes low-GWP R455A refrigerant in supermarket applications
Achieves high system COP through floating pressure operation
Compares performance across European climate zones: Seville, London, Lyon, Stuttgart
Demonstrates 38–59% heating demand coverage with zero additional electricity
Supplements remaining heating with traditional systems (e.g., gas boilers)

Why It Matters:

This innovative approach enhances building energy efficiency, reduces carbon emissions, and cuts long-term operational costs—helping retailers meet sustainability goals through smart thermodynamic engineering.
