Learn MoreSteam heat pump systems can recover and utilise low-grade or waste heat available from different plant utilities and industrial processes. The suitability of a heat source depends on its temperature, flow rate, availability and the required steam conditions.
Recover available heat from chiller and ammonia refrigeration systems.
Utilise recoverable thermal energy that would otherwise be rejected through cooling systems.
Recover waste heat generated by air compressors and diesel generator systems.
Use available chilled-water heat as a source for suitable steam-generation applications.
Assess other available process or utility heat sources based on their temperature and operating conditions.
Systems are configured around the specific steam and heat-recovery requirements of the application.
Recover suitable waste heat and steam streams and redirect available thermal energy towards productive process use.
System configuration can be adapted according to temperature, pressure, capacity and available heat-source conditions.
Steam heat pump systems can be designed to integrate with existing steam, cooling and utility systems.
