Double deployment
HYTING has commissioned its second customer installation, deploying two air-heating units delivering a combined heat output of 80kW at a production facility in Markkleeberg, in the German state of Saxony.
This represents a significant step forward in the company’s commercial roll-out, with capacity eight times higher than in HYTING’s first installation. It also marks the customer debut of HYTING’s 50kW heat generator platform, which features a 10:1 turndown ratio for continuous modulated heat output.
The facility in Markkleeberg is shared by two companies: BURO GmbH, which uses it to manufacture sheet-metal components on laser cutting and punching systems, and Südmetall Schließsysteme GmbH, which assembles electronic locking systems. Each of the two HYTING air-heating units serves one of these production areas, enabling tailored temperature distribution throughout the building.
The system operates in a hybrid configuration alongside a heat pump. The heat pump manages the base heating load, while HYTING’s units cover peak demand during periods of high heat requirement or low ambient temperatures. This strategy significantly reduces grid connection capacity and demand charges – in this case by 70% – and enables smaller sizing of the heat pump, reducing both capital expenditure and operating costs, as the heat pump runs continuously at its optimal operating point.
