Project

Adiabatic cooling in Technologie- und Gründerzentrums (TGZ) Würzburg / Germany / 2015

Application

Adiabat cooling, Rainwater harvesting

Products

2x AQUALOOP, PURAIN 200, RWZ 14-60-P

Planning

Operating point, water treatment1,2 m³/ day
Operating point, rainwater harvesting4,2 m³/ h
Useful volume concrete storage tank25,7 m³
Connected roof area

1.170 m²,

Expiration coefficient c = 0,5

Description

The newly erected building, covering an area of around 3,600m², offers technology-oriented, young companies rooms, service, advice and networks. The planned uses are office and training rooms as well as the 600m² workshop for the installation of test facilities. The building meets the quality standard KfW 55 Passive House. The TGZ provides a home for young start-ups and, thanks to its close ties to the university, offers the opportunity for intensive knowledge transfer.

A particular highlight is the INTEWA rainwater system with AQUALOOP disinfection for adiabatic evaporation cooling. Compared to conventional cooling systems, energy savings of up to 80% are achieved. The use of a reverse osmosis system is no longer necessary as the rainwater is particularly low in lime.

Total project sum: 11.825 million EUR

System components:

  • 2 AQUALOOP membranes for rainwater disinfection
  • Rainwater storage tank with usable volume 25.7 m³,
  • Pre-filtering by PURAIN 200 rainwater filter
  • RWZ-14-60-P for WC, urinals and for irrigating green areas
  • Submersible motor pump Multi-04 for supplying adiabatic cooling
