At SCE®, we don't just supply equipment—we engineer complete climate control systems tailored to your specific challenges. Every solution integrates our patented technologies, proven methodologies, and global partnerships to deliver measurable improvements in efficiency, productivity, and sustainability.
Advanced air handling units that utilize available waste energy sources to condition indoor spaces with the smallest energy footprint. Adiabatic technology reduces conventional cooling demand while improving air quality.
High-efficiency air-to-air heat exchangers that recover up to 80% of waste energy from exhaust air through full enthalpy transfer. Reuses exhaust energy for heating, cooling, and humidity control with proven reliability.
Smart system technology that accelerates ice removal in blast freezers and gyros while dramatically lowering overall energy demand. Uses controlled dry air to reduce defrost time and eliminate moisture on restart.
Capture and repurpose heat from exhaust air, refrigeration systems, and process equipment. Turn what would be wasted into heating, cooling, or dehumidification capacity.
Lower electricity consumption by recovering energy already in your facility. Reduce peak demand charges and minimise reliance on external power sources during high-cost periods.
Energy recovery delivers ongoing savings that compound over years of operation. Reduced energy bills, smaller HVAC equipment requirements, and extended equipment lifespan through reduced operational hours.
The Energy You're Throwing Away:
Every time you exhaust conditioned air, discharge waste heat from refrigeration, or vent process heat, you're discarding energy you've already paid to generate. Conventional HVAC systems work harder to replace this lost energy, consuming more electricity and creating unnecessary operational costs.
SCE®'s energy recovery approach captures value by:
The result: 40-80% reduction in HVAC energy consumption while maintaining or improving indoor air quality and climate control performance.
Recover waste heat from refrigeration systems for space heating or dehumidification. Use DefrostMODE® in blast freezers to reduce defrost energy while accelerating production cycles.
Repurpose process heat and exhaust energy to pre-condition make-up air. Reduce HVAC loads in facilities with high ventilation requirements and thermal processes.
Capture waste heat from generation processes for facility heating or industrial applications. Improve overall facility efficiency while reducing auxiliary power consumption.
Recover energy from refrigerated areas to heat adjacent spaces or pre-condition incoming air. Balance thermal loads across facility zones for optimal energy use.
Reduce HVAC costs in offices, retail, and public spaces through heat recovery from exhaust air. Maintain superior indoor air quality while cutting energy consumption.
Use energy recovery to reduce the temperature differential HVAC systems must overcome. Capture waste heat from refrigeration for defrost cycles or adjacent space heating.
Seibu-Giken Econovent® systems use rotating heat exchanger wheels to transfer both sensible heat (temperature) and latent heat (moisture) between exhaust and supply air streams. As warm exhaust air passes through, it heats the wheel. The heated wheel rotates into the supply air stream, warming incoming cold air before it reaches HVAC equipment.
FREECOOL® and other systems capture waste heat from refrigeration condensers, process equipment, or thermal losses—repurposing this energy for space heating, dehumidification regeneration, or air pre-conditioning. Energy that would be rejected to the atmosphere becomes operational capacity.
DefrostMODE® reduces the energy required for freezer defrost cycles by using forced dry air to accelerate ice removal. The system also ensures freezers restart completely dry, maximising freezing efficiency and minimising the next ice accumulation cycle.
Energy recovery delivers the greatest benefits when integrated into complete climate control systems rather than added as isolated components.
SCE® integrates energy recovery with:
Integrated systems respond dynamically to conditions, automatically maximising energy recovery when beneficial and adjusting when direct heating or cooling is more efficient.
We model energy recovery performance before installation, quantifying expected savings based on your facility's actual loads, operating patterns, and climate conditions. Post-installation commissioning verifies systems deliver projected results.
From energy assessment and system design through installation, commissioning, operator training, Service Level Agreements with performance monitoring, and three-year warranty program (with annual SLA renewal), we ensure energy recovery systems deliver ongoing value.
SCE® has designed and installed energy recovery systems across South Africa's industrial and commercial facilities. Our clients operate in environments where energy costs directly impact profitability, making recovery systems essential, not optional.
Energy recovery isn't theoretical. It's proven technology delivering measurable savings in facilities running 24/7, year after year.
