Pioneer EU Heat Pump Technology successfully put to the test with novel turbo compressors

The DryF high-temperature open loop heat pump demonstration aims to generate heat of 155°C. Temperatures of 110°C to 155°C are required to be able to remove water from bio sludge in an evaporation process. The technology is driven by a two-stage turbo-compressor technology developed by the Danish automotive technology company Rotrex A/S. Rotrex is the […]

Strengthening Industrial Heat Pump Innovation in Europe

The whitepaper that was published this summer (link) highlights the importance of Industrial Heat Pump technologies in reaching the goals of the Climate Agreement. In the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the EU initiatives on EU climate targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions by over 55% by 2030, as well as becoming climate neutral by 2050, […]

DryFiciency at ECEEE2020: Industrial Efficiency: Decarbonize Industry!

In the brickworks of Wienerberger Österreich GmbH in Uttendorf, the first DryFiciency heat pump with a closed refrigeration cycle is now being used to convert industrial waste heat into usable energy. In the manufacturing process, bricks are first formed, dried and then fired. This process takes place in a continuous tunnel dryer, where the high-temperature […]

Industrial Strategy & Heat Pumps

In March 2020, the European Commission published the Industrial Policy Package which includes several initiatives: the new industrial strategy for Europe together with a new SME Strategy, the Single Market Barriers Report and the Enforcement Action Plan for the Single Market. The European Commission established a set of fundamentals for Europe’s industrial transformation in order […]

Industrial heat pumps for a green European industry

It was a pleasure to be part of the „Industrial heat pumps for a green European industry“ online seminar. DryFiciency’s demonstration site at AGRANA in Pischelsdorf Austria, was presented in the webinar and shed light on how industrial heat pumps can help several industrial sectors by using waste heat in their processes.  Download the AGRANA presentation here:

Strengthening Industrial Heat Pump Innovation in Europe

On Thursday the 29th of October at 15:00 (CET) TNO are organizing an interactive session with presentations, interviews, polls and questions from the audience to interact with policy makers and industry stakeholders on the importance and the impact that Heat Pumps can have in industrial processes and why awareness is so important on this topic to meet the climate […]

AGRANA – INDUSTRIAL HEAT PUMPS FOR A GREENER EUROPEAN INDUSTRY

The DryFiciency heat pump that operates at the wheat starch processing facility was commissioned in March 2020 and has undergone numerous testing protocols to ensure efficient operations. The heat pump has a heating capacity of approx. 400kW representing approximately 10% of the starch dryer’s heat demand reaching temperature of 155 degrees Celsius. The AGRANA demonstration shows highly encouraging results. Laminger […]

Register to the „INDUSTRIAL HEAT PUMPS FOR A GREENER EUROPEAN INDUSTRY“

The heat pump technology has not only matured towards an ecologically and economically alternative to traditional residential heating technologies. Besides its importance in the residential heating market, there is another, yet to be developed market for heating and cooling: commerce and industry as well as regional and municipal energy distribution. Energy-wise this market is similar […]
