New Vahterus Multi-Condenser in 1.4 MW Heat Pump in Lithuania
Vahterus’ long-term customer UAB Green Group, an engineering company and contractor from Lithuania, has to date installed nine ammonia heat-pump systems to Lithuanian firms, with a total heating capacity exceeding 7 MW. Earlier this year, it supplied a 1.4 MW ammonia heat pump to one of the largest Lithuanian meat-processing plants, Biovela – Utena Meat. The pump has a COP of 7.2 – 8.25, depending on the operating conditions. Vahterus supplied a 1.4 MW Vahterus PSHE Multi-Condenser for the pump, in which an ammonia desuperheater and condenser are integrated in the same shell.

One Vahterus Combined Chiller Cools Two Ice Rinks in Maryland
In September 2019, Vahterus supplied a critical-charge combined ice-rink chiller, to Ultimate Fabrication Inc, located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The new cooling system was designed with an environmental gain in mind, not only by switching from R-22 to ammonia, but also by maximising electrical and thermal efficiency. The Vahterus PSHE Combined Chiller (a chiller with an integrated separator in one shell) was a key component in the upgrade project of the NHL and studio-size ice rinks in the Cabin John Ice Arena.
