Description of the project
“For some time now, we have had the vision of becoming the first green dialysis centre in Germany.” This is how the two partners Dr Christoph Korte and Dr Markus Weber and technical director Christian Meyer describe their idea and the joint project. In 2020, a Photovoltaic system was installedwhich has already led to significant energy savings. The operators then looked for a way to consume even more of the PV electricity generated directly in the centre.
This was made possible by the GreenTec Dialysis Cross-Sector Integration and the use of air-water heat pumps in combination with the GreenTec HE.RO system (heat exchanger) and the existing dialysis water treatment system from DWA.
Benefits
- Increase in PV self-consumption rate from approx. 66% to approx. 90%
- Reduction of water consumption by approx. 560 m³ per year through GPS data analysis
- Integration of cold store and lifting system monitoring in Smart Dialysis® on customer request
