Ulmatec Pyro’s system extracts heat wherever it is available. In addition to that it balances the heat between various consumers. That includes the HVAC system, bathrooms, cabins and living rooms, and (potable) sanitary water. Tank heating, preheating of water to the fresh water generator and heating of pool water is a part of the system as well. Heat can also be stored in thermos tanks and assist in keeping heat inside the ship when it is docked or operating in battery mode. It can also be used in an absorption cooler to generate cooling. Moreover, if the ship is operating in a cold climate, the heat can be used for anti-icing on decks, railings, stairs, and more.
