After a successful test phase, which met all requirements and showed a higher COP than promised, the Danish renewable energy and storage specialist, Aalborg CSP, has commissioned yet another heat pump order.

The 1.2 MW air-to-water CO₂ heat pump system was handed over to the client, the Danish district heating plant Solrød Fjernvarme.

The increase in fossil fuel prices has for many contributed to an acceleration of the green energy transition. In recent years, an increasing number of Danish district heating plants has turned their attention towards alternative solutions such as heat pumps. One of these district heating plants is Solrød Fjernvarme (Solrød District Heating).

The Danish district heating plant Solrød Fjernvarme is experiencing an increased demand following an expansion of the district heating network. The district heating plant’s newly commissioned heat pump thus contributes to ensuring sufficient heating capacity to supply both current and future district heating customers.

After a successful performance test phase, which met all requirements and achieved a higher COP (Coefficient of Performance) than promised, the heat pump system has been handed over to the client, Solrød Fjernvarme, who will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the plant.

The order for Solrød Fjernvarme is a turnkey EPC contract consisting of a 1.2 MW CO₂ heat pump, expansion of the existing technical building, and integration with the existing system, which includes a 2,569 m²solar heating plant and a 1,250 m³ hot water accumulation tank.

The integrated heat pump system, which is tailored to fit the district heating plant’s specific energy needs, uses outdoor air as the source for heat production and ensures a more flexible energy supply.
