Industrial heat pumps for greener European industry

Recent results from the Wienerberger demonstration shows the exiting potential for emissions reductions.  “Looking at the comparison of a natural gas burner that supplies the same heat, we can see the end energy and CO2 emissions as well as the energy cost reduction that are possible when utilising the DryFiciency high temperature heat pumps (HTHP) system” says […]

DryFiciency Core Components

Veronika Wilk of AIT led a stimulating discussion on the open-loop heat pump system developed by the DryFiciency consortium using advanced, low-cost, turbo-compressor technology by ROTREX originating from the automotive sector.  While normal automotive applications deal with temperatures of up to 50°C and ambient pressure, DryFiciency demands nearly 300 % higher temperatures along with steam and over pressure at inlet. […]

Waste heat solutions for Europe’s green recovery

For those of you who missed it, looking forward to seeing you next time! Download the presentations here.  Watch the recording here. […]

INDUSTRIAL HEAT PUMPS FOR A GREENER EUROPEAN INDUSTRY

The speakers elaborated on the benefits of using renewable and reusing waste energy in industrial processes to reduce their energy demand and to organize energy in circular flows will be highlighted, stressing its impact on the competitiveness of European manufacturers.   Watch the full presentations of Silvia Madeddu, Michael Bantle and Veronika Wilk here.

Heat pumps: No-way or Norway?

During the recent EHPA and DryFiciency seminar towards greener energy, Michael Bantle Senior Researcher SINTEF Energy Research, explored the key drivers towards the increased acceptance of heat pumps (HP).  Specifically, in Scandinavia HP experience a high acceptance, with heat pumps becoming the „standard“ solution for building heating as well as several industry segments. This has also resulted in a number of Start-Up […]

We are on the edge of an electrification era – is industry prepared?

In the EU, while large regional differences exist, (electricity being on average 3 times the price of gas) in 2020 for the first-time renewables overtook fossil fuels in the generation of electricity reaching 38% share.  In some countries, solar PV is already the cheapest and most competitive form of electricity and the rapid technological advancements […]

Waste heat solutions for Europe’s green recovery

There is enough waste heat available in Europe to meet the demands of much of industry and the entire building stock. Following the energy efficiency first principle, it is essential that this surplus energy is put to good use. Waste heat can be recovered and reused in numerous industrial processes as well as in district heating systems. This seminar […]

Industrial heat pumps for a greener European industry

Together with our speakers we’ll show the status quo and potential of the available solutions – how heat pumps can help make the industry and its energy circles and processes more robust for reaching climate neutrality by 2050. The benefits of using renewable and reusing waste energy in industrial processes to reduce their energy demand […]

High temperature heat pumps in energy intensive industries: demonstration plants

By addressing the different aspects of the solution starting with components, working systems, different case studies of the open-loop and closed-loop heat pump system, the online events connects the dots and acts as a co-creation platform between the relevant actors. By bringing together, fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration between the heat pump industry and biorefinery, ceramics, […]

High temperature heat pumps in energy intensive industries: core components

Hear from the DryFiciency Partners AIT, Fuchs, Chemours, Bitzer, Rotrex and Heaten on the development and adaption of technologies for upgrading idle waste heat streams to process heat streams at temperature levels of up to 160°C .  The open-loop heat pump system developed by the DryFiciency consortium uses advanced, low-cost, turbo-compressor technology originating from the automotive sector. It is […]
