Description
The project "Installation of a system of heat pumps with seawater for the needs of the City Pool in Dubrovnik" predicts the reconstruction of the engine room in the said building. The goal is to replace the old fossil fuel oil technology with a modern renewable energy system that provides a continuous source of heating with seawater that acts as a stable and reliable heat source and abyss. The use of the sea, as an inexhaustible heat source, is ensured in an indirect way, by hydraulic separation of the circulation through the heat pump in relation to the circulation of seawater. The newly planned heat pump as the main consumer should have an energy efficiency of expected SCOP = 7.05. Viewed on an annual basis, the reconstruction of the mechanical system using the sea using heat pump technology to heat water in large and small pools and heat the facility itself could save almost 100% of total annual fuel oil consumption. The installation of sea-water heat pumps for heating the Gruž basin would significantly reduce CO2 emissions to 656 tons per year, which is a reduction of 89%, and in addition to positive effects at the global level would contribute to improving air quality locally.
