PSYCTOTHERM

The company operates on its own facilities at Piraeus, Greece, in total area of 1,800 sqm, covering activities such as commercial shop, storages, offices, and workshop with modern machinery equipment. PSYCTO has well-qualified personnel of 30 people, with long experience and excellent know-how. PSYCTO has acquired ISO: 9001 certification for quality assurance from Buraeu Veritas No:GR14.1450Q. All the products are manufactured under relevant ECC directives and EN standards.

The main topics of its activity include the studying, equipment procurement, installation and maintenance of the following systems:

  • Space air-conditioning with special temperature and humidity requirements (such as offices)
  • Space air conditioning with special purity requirements in accordance with US Fed. Std.
  • Cooling chambers and latent heat storage systems
  • Pipe networks for transferring and distribution of refrigerant, cool/hot water, steam, compressed air etc.
  • Control and data acquisition systems
  • Design and installation of small-scale heat-to-power engines based on the ORC technology
  • Energy savings applications in industry, buildings, and marine sector

Main role in the project:

The main role of PSYCTO is to design and develop a multi-source heat pump to be connected with PV/T collectors and geothermal energy and a smart control system ensuring the most efficient operation of the system. The proposed heat pump can achieve an improved COP, compared to conventional heat pump systems, reaching up to 4.5. The main innovations of the proposed system are the following:

  • the multi-source operation of the heat pump, combining many natural heat sources
  • the use of thermal energy storage systems as heat source for the heat pump operation
  • the energy management and control system of the heat pump, resulting to more efficient and reliable operation
  • the selection of HFO refrigerant, allowing the use of the heat pump in the future according
  • the integration of thermal solar panels with heat pumps leading to a higher temperature operation of the heat pump.
