Food for thoughtful heating
London food distribution charity Felix is using Beijer Ref’s SEC200 heat recovery technology to help deliver hot water with almost zero energy consumption.
Felix rescues surplus food and delivers it to community organisations and schools.
The SEC200 was installed at its Deptford site as part of a major refrigeration project delivered by KDH Projects, with support from Beijer Ref Technical and the HVACR commissioning team.
The system recovers waste heat from the refrigeration plant and uses it to supply hot water to the site’s new canteen, utility room, shower room and first-floor toilets. The Deptford installation follows earlier SEC200 projects for Felix, with the charity now installing the technology across new sites.
SEC, or Sustainable Energy Controller, is a standalone heat recovery product that harvests heat from refrigeration and air conditioning systems and converts it into hot water.
For the Deptford project, the SEC200 was installed alongside Danfoss Optyma condensing units, with evaporators varying by application.
The first installation was supported by Beijer Ref Technical and the HVACR commissioning team who helped KDH integrate the system with the wider refrigeration plant and site monitoring.
