Abstract (en)

The invention refers to a thermodynamic process for producing cold for refrigerating users and for producing hot water for thermal users. The thermodynamic cycles for producing cold provides for transferring heat to the water that is collected in a tank to be selectively supplied to one or more thermal users, when necessary based upon the season and the environmental conditions. The heating of the water thus exploits a part of the heat produced by the thermodynamic cycles and that would in any case be lost into the atmosphere. In this way the efficiency is maximised. The invention also refers to a thermal plant operating according to the aforementioned process, in which the thermodynamic cycles and the circuit for supplying the hot water to the thermal users are configured in cascade.
