Johnson Controls to provide clean heating for China’s homes, businesses
Johnson Controls is introducing a new technology in China to meet the growing demand for central heating that does not emit harmful pollutants. The York Dual Steam Turbine (YDST) heat pump recycles surplus heat from industrial or power plants into higher temperature hot water that can be used to operate large central heating plants. Compared to traditional boiler heating, the company says the YDST can reduce coal consumption by up to 30% while supplying the same amount of heat.
“Urbanization and the government’s efforts to promote sustainable development are driving demand in China for more energy efficient technologies and solutions,” said Soren Bjerg, vice president and managing director of Johnson Controls Building Efficiency in Asia. “This is a real opportunity for us to expand our presence in an important market and use our expertise and innovation to address a growing need to reduce emissions.”
