Heating supply for a camping site
In Austria, the project involved redesigning the heating system for a campsite. The shower and sanitary areas of a campsite in particular have high heating requirements during the peak season, which means high costs. In order to optimize costs, the campsite operator decided to modernize its existing heating system.
Cost reduction through efficiency
An existing air heat pump is used, and the system is supplemented by a stratified storage tank with a volume of 3,000 liters. The existing photovoltaic system was expanded with the 15 kW Smart Energy (PV) system so that solar power can be used directly for hot water production.
Smart Energy (PV) only uses the amount of PV electricity that cannot be consumed at the campsite – this is made possible by the use of the grid sensor, which records excess current and thus regulates the output of Smart Energy. In order to efficiently generate the high volumes of fresh water, a two-stage cascade heating system with an output of 200 kW was used. The higher-level ratiotherm central controller monitors and controls all consumers and generators optimally.
