Impact:
Integration of heating and cooling streams to generate high temperature water/steam whilst cooling an ice bank system

Integration of heating and cooling at a yoghurt producer to integrate a refrigeration ice bank (used to produce chilled water) with steam generation system (currently operated from gas). This will be tested and monitored to demonstrate the opportunities for thermal integration and also the use of high temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) to generate steam.
