High temperature industrial heat pump – ALTAL solution for waste energy steam

ALTAL, a company specializing in advanced air conditioning and energy efficiency solutions, launches a high temperature industrial heat pump, designed to recover waste heat from technological processes and produce hot water or steam at temperatures between +95°C and +150°C.

What makes this heat pump so special?

Industrial heat pump is capable of operating without oil, at low speeds, with exceptional thermodynamic efficiency. Industrial heat pump high temperature uses waste heat from industrial processes such as drying, distillation, fermentation or passive cooling, in the temperature range +25°C to +70°CInstead of this energy being wasted, it is captured and reused to generate useful heat at much higher temperatures.

Key advantages of the ALTAL industrial heat pump

• Industrial steam production from secondary energy;
• Heat recovery in fermentation, pasteurization, distillation, washing and other processes;
• Outlet temperature up to +150°C – suitable for most technological applications;
• No direct CO₂ emissions, when powered by renewable sources;
• Compatibility with photovoltaic solar panels and green power sources.

 

State-of-the-art compression technology

At the base of the heat pump is a oil-free compressor high efficiency, manufactured by a renowned Taiwanese manufacturer. It is specially designed for industrial heating and can operate continuously without significant loss of efficiency.

The compressor is capable of operating with environmentally friendly refrigerants with low global warming potential (LGWP), which ensures long-term sustainability and compliance with European standards.

Compatible refrigerants and thermal applications

Refrigerant	Maximum temperature	GWP (Global Warming Potential)
R1234ze(E)	+95°C	<7
R1234ze(Z)	+115°C	<1
R245fa	+125°C	~1000
R1233zd	+150°C	<200

Depending on the refrigerant chosen, the pump can be configured to meet the customer's exact needs.

EVI (vapor injection) technology – why is it essential?

Technology HOME (Enhanced Vapor Injection) allows a significant increase in efficiency when it is desired to raise the temperature of the heating medium to +100°C and above. By reinjecting a fraction of vapor into the compressor, the condensing pressure increases, which significantly improves COP (Coefficient of Performance) of the equipment.

This is essential for operation at high temperatures without major efficiency losses and with reduced wear on the compressor.

Integration and scalability

The ALTAL industrial heat pump can be integrated into existing systems or used in parallel with other heat sources. For example, heat obtained from the ground, water or air through a low-temperature heat pump can be "boosted" up to +95°C or even +150°C with this industrial equipment.

Thus, applications become extremely versatile and can include:

• food and dairy production lines;
• breweries and distilleries;
• pharmaceutical manufacturers;
• industrial laundries;
• chemical and biotechnological processes.

Economic impact and sustainability

The industrial heat pump is designed for rapid depreciation in an industrial context. The initial investment is recovered on average in 2–5 years, depending on the type of process and the cost of energy. In addition, the use of residual energy significantly reduces monthly production costs.

With an estimated lifespan of over 20 years, and minimal maintenance, the industrial heat pump is a smart choice for companies seeking both economic efficiency and transition to climate neutrality.
