PIRANHA SERIES
ALL-IN-ONE HEAT PUMP FOR WASTEWATER HEAT RECOVERY & COOLING
Watch The Video Below to Learn More About The PIRANHA Series
The PIRANHA Wastewater Heat Recovery & Cooling System is a specialized water-to-water heat pump that recovers energy directly from wastewater and uses this source energy to produce hot water.
The hot water produced through the unit is typically used for potable Domestic Hot Water (DHW) purposes, however it can also be used for hydronic heating or alternate hot water demand purposes.
The PIRANHA features a specially designed evaporator to recover and transfer energy directly from wastewater into a refrigeration circuit, paired with an NSF-372 rated double-wall vented brazed plate heat exchanger (condenser) to transfer the energy directly into potable water.
Why PIRANHA?
- Intelligently recover heat energy using wastewater to greatly reduce new energy consumption & CO2 emissions
- Reduce cooling costs
- Consistent year-round performance
- Compact, small footprint heat pump powerhouse
- Fully automated
- Increase COVID-19 readiness with building-wide testing

PIRANHA
Heating
- The PIRANHA HC’s specially designed evaporator recovers and transfers energy directly from wastewater into a refrigeration circuit
- NSF-372 rated double-wall vented brazed plate heat exchanger (condenser) transfers the energy directly into potable water.
PIRANHA HC
The PIRANHA HC Series amplifies performance by adding the ability to provide simultaneous space cooling alongside domestic hot water production.
Cooling
- The PIRANHA HC’s specially designed evaporator recovers and transfers energy directly from wastewater into a refrigeration circuit
- A second, independent evaporator recovers energy from a hydronic space cooling loop and adds that energy to the refrigerant circuit, boosting performance.
- NSF-372 rated double-wall vented brazed plate heat exchanger (condenser) transfers the energy directly into potable water.
