Industrial heat pumps

An industrial heat pump is a device that transfers heat from a lower temperature source to a higher temperature sink. It operates on the same principles as a household heat pump but is designed for larger-scale and more robust applications in industrial settings.

Reduce C02 emissions

Significantly reduce your CO2 emissions, when you power your industrial heat pump from renewable sources.

Use your waste heat

Waste heat can be re-used for your different applications that require heat up to 120 degrees celsius.

Process improvement

An industrial heat pump can provide precise and stable temperature control, which can improve the quality and efficiency of the process.

Industrial heat pump explained

An industrial heat pump is a device that transfers heat from a low-temperature source to a high-temperature sink, using a refrigerant as the working fluid. By using waste heat or renewable electricity as the input, an industrial heat pump can reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the industry.

Industrial heat pump working principle

An industrial heat pump consists of four main components: an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve. The refrigerant circulates through these components in a closed loop, undergoing phase changes and temperature changes. 

 

The evaporator absorbs heat from the low-temperature source, such as waste heat, ambient air, or water, and evaporates the refrigerant. The compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant vapor. The condenser releases heat to the high-temperature sink, such as process water, steam, or air, and condenses the refrigerant. The expansion valve reduces the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant liquid, and returns it to the evaporator.
