Sustainability is increasingly important to businesses, consumers and the planet and businesses that deliver sustainable practices are not only able to attract more customers, they are also positioning themselves for success in the future.
There are many ways that businesses can work sustainably, and many decisions that can be made that can bring your business into the sustainability age without huge cost implications.
But, if you were told that there is a way that your business could reduce its carbon footprint, increase its sustainability goals and practices, and save money, you’d want to know more – so read on.
There are many areas of the hospitality industry where it is difficult to operate in an environmentally sustainable way. Drinks are manufactured, bottled, shipped all over the world and sold in venues and all these require energy, even for things like hot water to clean and sterilise.
Hot water is a critical operational requirement for hospitality businesses across Australia, with commercial kitchens, breweries, distilleries, hotels, and food processing facilities all needing access to hot water solutions. But with traditional systems such as gas or electric boilers using up lots of energy, many of these businesses are looking for different and more sustainable ways to meet their hot water demands.
The Q-ton CO₂ air-to-water heat pump by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is the ideal hot water solution for businesses in the food, beverage, and hospitality industries. It offers exceptional energy efficiency, significant cost savings, and unmatched sustainability.
The Q-ton provides a reliable, low-maintenance hot water solution that reduces energy consumption, lowers operating costs, and cuts CO₂ emissions by up to 76 per cent compared to traditional gas or electric boilers.
This industry-leading technology is already helping businesses across Australia’s hospitality and manufacturing sectors reduce their carbon footprint, their energy bills and their reliance on gas. The Q-ton is helping businesses to make these key changes while still meeting high-volume hot water demands, upgrading their sustainability goals, improving their energy efficiency and making long-term savings.
HOW IT WORKS
The Q-ton uses patented compressor technology, which absorbs heat contained in the air, compresses the CO2 refrigerant and transfers the absorbed heat to the water. The water then instantly heats to between 60°C and 90°C, delivering sanitary grade hot water and space heating solutions to commercial properties.
The Q-ton’s capacity to deliver instant hot water at 90°C means it is perfect for bottling, cleaning and sterilisation, while also saving on water, energy and money.
Q-ton is a proven solution, having already been installed in over 80 businesses — including breweries, wineries, distilleries, and hotels — helping them reduce running costs and lower emissions with its pioneering technology
Designed and manufactured in Japan the Q-ton leverages over 140 years of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ engineering excellence to deliver a high quality, robust and compact product. In addition, the Q-ton can be retrofitted into existing water systems, is easy to install and can operate as a standalone unit or a part of a 16-unit super system.
With the ability to deliver water as hot as 90°C, in temperatures as cold as -25oC and maintain 100 per cent capacity down to -7°C, the Q-ton offers dynamic performance, reliability and cost-savings – even for facilities located in cold climates.
