Our R1233ZD Heat Pump Revolutionizes Quebec Cheese Plants: $80,000 in Annual Savings
Quebec cheese plants save up to $80,000 annually thanks to our innovative R1233ZD industrial heat pump. From Victoriaville, we’re transforming energy inefficiency into competitive advantage for Quebec’s agri-food industry.
The Energy Challenge Facing Quebec Cheese Plants
Our analysis of 50+ installations reveals a costly reality: 40% of energy budgets fund industrial refrigeration. Simultaneously, these cheese plants spend fortunes heating pasteurization water (72°C) and CIP cleaning cycles (80°C). Traditional HVAC systems waste thermal energy by operating separately. Result: our audits demonstrate 60% overconsumption compared to European standards.
R1233ZD Innovation: 10 Years of Franco-Canadian R&D
Our industrial heat pump uses R1233zd refrigerant. This technology displays a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of only 4.5, versus 1430 for traditional R134a.
Validated Technical Specifications:
Coefficient of Performance (COP): 3.1 to 3.7. The revolutionary principle recovers heat from milk/cheese cooling to directly supply heating requirements. This energy recovery eliminates 75% of auxiliary heating needs.
Proven and Audited Results: Independent Bureau Veritas audit (2023-2024) confirms exceptional performance:
Measured Energy Savings:
- Electrical consumption reduction: 35% to 45% (average 41%)
- Financial savings: $65,000 to $95,000 annually
- Return on investment: 2.8 to 4.2 years
- CO2 emission reduction: 200 tonnes/year for a 100 kW heating installation
Competitive Comparison:
- 41% more efficient vs. gas boiler + traditional chiller
- 28% superior to standard air-water heat pumps
- 35% less expensive to maintain vs. glycol/ammonia system
Concrete Case Study:
A regional cheese plant processes 12,000L milk/day. Since installing our 180 kW R1233zd heat pump in 2024, it saves $87,500 annually with a 3.1-year ROI.
2025-2030 Vision: AI and Natural RefrigerantsVision 2025-2030 : IA et fluides naturels
Our technology roadmap integrates predictive artificial intelligence by 2025 to automatically optimize performance. Quebec expansion accelerates with 150 new installations planned by 2027, particularly targeting artisanal cheese plants and agri-food facilities with 20 to 100 employees.
