Industrial heat pumps

Industrial heat pumps

It is a very efficient heat engine capable of transferring waste heat from a low temperature source to a high temperature source.

Heat pump technology is moving towards high temperatures as it is very interesting and efficient for industrial applications.

Today it is possible to heat liquids up to 100 ° / 110 ° C with a heat pump.

Heat pump applications:

  • Use to preheat plastics (e.g. polyolefins)

Benefits

  • 25% / 30% lower power consumption
  • The heat pump also provides chilled water
  • Process stability due to constant temperature of the plastic entering the machine
  • Process stability due to constant humidity level at the machine entrance
  • Higher screw performance (about 10% -15%)
