KOBELCO energy solution menus generated from compressor technologies

We offer a wide range of power-saving and power-generation menus utilizing screw-type compressor technologies to meet the needs for energy saving and reduction in CO2 emissions.

Generator

As power generation and power saving are attracting attention, we have a lineup of power generating equipment that uses hot water and steam. The main feature is compact generators with a screw turbine, which are our unique power generation equipment that other companies do not have, and these generators use energies that were not used before, such as heat, to make small-scale decentralized power generation available at factories and hot springs. We have a lineup of products that can handle every temperature range.

STEAM STAR MSEG

This product efficiently utilizes steam energy in decompression process and excess steam energy released to the atmosphere using a screw-type generator for power generation.
This product can continuously generate power even with variable steam pressure and volume.
Its all-in-one structure saves space. It has achieved a reduction in construction costs.

Microbinary MB

Hot water
This product evaporates refrigerant using the exhaust heat of hot water, gas that can be converted to hot water, or other energy to efficiently generate power with a screw-type generator.
Steam
This product evaporates refrigerant using low-pressure steam before condensing to efficiently generate power with a screw-type compressor.

Product name	Model	Energy recovery form	Power generation amount/Recovered heat output (Per unit)	Application example
STEAM STAR MSEG	Screw-type compact steam generator	Power generation	Up to 160kW	■ Substitution for reducing valves ■ Use of excess steam
Microbinary MB	Screw-type compact microbinary generator	Power generation	Hot water: Up to 65kW Steam: Up to 112kW	■ Cooling and hot water for each process ■ Steam and exhaust gas ■ Hot waste liquid

Applicable form of exhaust heat
	Steam	Gas other than steam	Hot water	Cold water	Brine	Waste liquid

Steam compressor

Flash steam and low-pressure steam after being used in factory processes have been difficult to recycle despite their significant amount of thermal energy. MSRC can regenerate steam by efficiently increasing the pressure of this flash steam with a screw-type compressor and returning it to the process side.

STEAM STAR MSRC

This steam regeneration device compresses low-pressure steam and flash steam using a screw-type compressor and increases the pressure of that steam.
The device regenerates even a small amount of steam efficiently with a displacement-type screw compressor.

Product name	Model	Energy recovery form	Power generation amount/Recovered heat output (Per unit)	Application example
STEAM STAR MSRC	Screw-type compact steam compressor	Steam regeneration	Up to 1,450kg/h	All steam users

Applicable form of exhaust heat
	Steam	Gas other than steam	Hot water	Cold water	Brine	Waste liquid

Heat pump

Because heat pumps used for air conditioning of buildings and factories can utilize many times the amount of thermal energy as supplied energy (electric power), they are becoming increasingly popular as energy-saving equipment. Water-cooling type heat pumps, in particular, have achieved overwhelming high efficiency.

SGH

The world's first heat pump system that has achieved a supply of 120°C or higher steam
Heat pump type that does not emit exhaust gas

HEMⅡ

Achieved COP 6.0 and IPLV 9.2, the highest ranks in the industry.

HEM-HR75S/HEMⅡ-HR

Under a wide range of conditions of cold water/hot water, this model can perform highly efficient circulation heating operation.

HEM-HR-TB

This model can cool brine between -10°C to 0°C and take out hot water of up to 70°C simultaneously.

HEM-HR90

This model can take out cold water and hot water of up to 90°C simultaneously.

HEM-3WAY

This model can take out cold water and hot water of up to 85°C simultaneously.
It can stably supply hot water even with fluctuation in the cold-water load.

Refrigeration compressor

As a pioneer of screw refrigeration compressors, we have taken the lead in the industry all along, always responding to customer's needs with innovative ideas and proposals.
In 2002, we released the “iZ series,” capacity-increased energy-saving two-stage compressors, which are the world’s first screw refrigeration compressors equipped with an inverter.
The following year, we released the “iZα series” which has employed a new refrigerant R404A having zero ozone depletion potential.
Achieving increased capacity and outstanding energy-saving performance at the same time, the iZα series is being highly acclaimed by customers as an unheard-of epoch-making refrigeration compressor.
