A heat pump system using lake water at Ohrid will heat/cool a 200 sqm diving center. The study monitors water temperature and environmental impact, providing insights on sustainable heating/cooling for lakeshore communities.
Climate-Related Hazards Addressed:
- Heatwaves
- Multi-hazard scenarios
- CO2 emissions abatement
Specific Problems Solved:
- Operational Efficiency: The innovation focuses on assessing the operational efficiency and energy performance (Coefficient of Performance, COP) of a proposed heat pump system. This system uses a lake as a heat reservoir for heating and cooling purposes, aiming to ensure it is both effective and sustainable.
- Environmental Impact: The innovation addresses the potential environmental impact by monitoring temperature changes in the lake water surrounding the heat exchanger. The study will assess whether these temperature fluctuations are within acceptable limits for the adjacent flora and fauna, ensuring minimal disruption to the local ecosystem.
This detailed analysis will provide critical insights into the viability and ecological sustainability of using natural water bodies as heat reservoirs, contributing to CO2 emissions reduction and enhancing resilience against heatwaves and other climate-related hazards.
See more information about this level and the TRL and SRL levels.
The system’s main components have been individually tested, and an initial integration has been completed.
The Study shall offer a data to the interested parties in monitoring of the phenomena in the Ohrid Lake by recording the parameter son a daily basis, to serve to the conclusions for further planning of the development of the infrastructure and buildings along the shore. This monitoring process can be extended at the same location and also implemented on other potential development sites. Awareness of the officials at the Municipality of Ohrid will be enhanced regarding the systems of the same or similar nature. Technical and social environmental aspects are becoming attractive hint for further planning and will help to the local economy based on the tourism to lower the input costs to their activities by improving the accommodation comfort.
No partnership is envisioned at this stage.
Potential limitation to the outcomes of the Study are related to the extreme climate conditions, when effects of the observed equipment is interfered with the low or high temperatures, other than those already known in the valid climate data.
