HRU – Heat Recovery Unit
General description
and application
Danfoss Heat Recovery Unit provide the link
between a CO₂ refrigeration systems and the
heating installation. It is developed and designed
for recovery of waste heat from refrigeration
installations, where CO₂ is used as medium, to
heat supermarkets (hot tap water, heating, air
handling units) and enables selling surplus heat
back to the district heating network. Danfoss
HRU can be used in installations with different
external heat supply, such as District energy,
boiler or other heat source.
Characteristic:
• Heating demand: 22-540 kW
• Maximum recovered heat from C0₂ pack up
to 50-400kW
Two different solutions based on store size:
1. one- tank solution - for small stores up to 1500 m
2. two-tanks solution - for medium and large stores
Standard layout in 6 versions:
• indirect connection (type A2,A6) or directly
connection (type A4,A7).
• indirect connection (type A1) or connection
to DHU (type A3), designed for areas where it is
possible to sell heat to DHU network.

Function Waste heat from CO system is transferred via
CO heat exchanger * using water as medium,
into supply storage tanks T2 and T1.
The temperature sensor (S6) check the
temperature in tank (T2) and send a signal to
a 3-way valve (M1), which will open and heat
accumulated in tanks will be transferred into the
heating circuit.
Lower demand for heat will cause closing of the
controlling valve (M2) and reduce or cut the need
for energy from the external heat source. The
temperature sensor (S8) control the pump (P3)
and when the temperature reaches the desired
level and no more heat can be accumulated.
Secondary heat meters (F1 and F2) are measuring
flow and heat meter F3 on the charging circuit
calculates the recovered energy.

up to

The primary function is to recover as much
energy as possible and secondary as high
temperature as possible
We always prioritize usage of heat
recovered from cooling unit before
supplying from external heat source
A1 version offers returning heat back into
the DHU network or other external network
via heat exchanger HEX2
If the recovered energy is more than the
stores can reuse the pump P4 is activated
so this energy can be sold to the district
heating
