Intercontinental Hotel Shanghai Pudong replaced its original steam heating system with 4 CO2 heat pump units to supply the hotel's 100 tons per day hot water demand. This reduced annual operating costs from 30.66 million yuan to 3.45 million yuan, saving 27.21 million yuan. The CO2 heat pump units provide reliable and safe operation while meeting hot water needs. They also effectively lower energy costs and achieve goals of energy savings, emissions reductions, and cost reductions.
