Rising Global Concern

With countries striving to achieve their NetZero pledges through the development and implementation of global sustainability standards, many industries are discovering the best ways to reduce carbon emissions and cut energy costs.

The Food Processing industry has recognized the importance of utilizing renewable energy sources to comply with the upcoming standards and guidelines.
This growing recognition reinforces the fact that businesses transitioning to sustainable practices is not only necessary for the environment but also imperative to the long-term success of their operations.

Did You Know?

Every DCT One Series machine installed has the potential to eliminate 250,000 kilograms of CO2 equivalent.

An Industry-Wide Issue

Food Processing itself is complex and comprised of several major segments including: agriculture, transportation, processing, and handling, among others. Each of these consume energy uniquely – while unfortunately contributing to global emissions.

A study by Crippa et al. (2021) revealed that the food system as a whole, is responsible for a staggering 17.9 billion tonnes (U.S. 19.7 billion tons) of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent), which accounts for approximately 34% of the world’s total carbon emissions.

Dalrada Climate Technology and Manufacturing- industrial and commercial heat pumps

Modernizing American Energy with Dalrada's climate tech.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 recognizes the importance of American agriculture in addressing the climate crisis. $21 billion has been reserved for climate-smart farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners who are committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution and increasing carbon storage in soils and trees – while making operations more efficient and productive.

A Dire Need

The inefficiency of traditional boilers and chillers has created a dire need for robust technology that addresses high energy consumption and combats rising energy costs.

A Real Solution for heating and cooling

Through renewable and sustainable energy innovation, combustion-free Dalrada Climate Technology heat pumps reduce carbon and improve energy efficiency, delivering up to 75% cost savings while meeting Net Zero goals.

DCT One Series Heat Pump Advantages

  • Up to 7 times more efficient than traditional boilers and chiller plants
  • Effectively decarbonizes heat
  • Provides simultaneous heating and cooling
  • Combustion-free process
  • Reduces global warming potential (GWP)
  • Uses carbon dioxide (CO2) as refrigerant in transcritical refrigeration cycle
  • Reduces Ozone-depleting potential (ODP)
  • Retrofittable design, modular build
  • Climate agnostic, works in multiple regions
  • Can be implemented into new and existing building infrastructures
  • INCREASED EFFICIENCY
    Up to 150 kW heating output and 105 kW output with just 43 kW of electrical input. Traditional heating and cooling systems require approximately 93.3 kW of electrical input to produce the same heating and cooling output.
  • IMPROVED PERFORMANCE
    For every 1 kW of electrical energy input, 4.5 kW of heating energy (kWth) are generated and 2.5 kW of cooling energy (kWth) are extracted for a combined coefficient of performance (COPhc) of 1:7. Most air conditioners have a COP of 1:2.3 to 1:3.5 while most natural gas boilers have an average COP of 1:0.9.
  • LESS DOWNTIME
    The closed system ensures minimal machine maintenance and zero wasted energy during the transcritical refrigeration cycle with supercritical CO2 as the working fluid. Less maintenance means fewer problems and less downtime.
  • UPGRADED SOLUTION
    Makes an excellent replacement option for both heating and cooling. The unique design allows for the production of hot water for spas and pools while extracting energy for comfort cooling — ideal for the hospitality industry.
