EVENT REPORT: Marktpotential für Hochtemperatur-Wärmepumpen in Europa?

Eine kürzlich veröffentliche Studie zur Frage, wie die österreichische Industrie vollständig mit erneuerbarer Energie versorgt werden kann, unterstreicht die Bedeutung von Hochtemperatur-Wärmepumpen als Basistechnologie zur Rückgewinnung von Abwärme und zur Erhöhung der Energieeffizienz. Im H2020 Projekt DryFiciency werden Hochtemperatur-Wärmepumpen, die Vorlauftemperaturen von bis zu 160°C liefern, entwickelt und erstmals in industrieller Umgebung demonstriert. Nach der […]

Pump it up! DryF successfully demonstrates first industrial high temperature heat pump in use at Wienerberger brick plant

The first industrial high-temperature heat pump at Wienerberger went into demo operation. „A milestone was set in the DryFiciency project towards decarbonization of the brick and tile industry“ said Carlo Callegati, Head of R&D Operations and Engineering Wienerberger AG, at the presentation of the high-temperature heat pump. The DryF heat pump converts industrial waste heat […]

Successful Factory Assembly Tests for novel Steam Turbo Compressors

As part of the EU-project DryFiciency, SINTEF is developing and testing a novel compressor type together with ROTREX: a so-called turbo compressor. The challenge was to design a gearbox which results in a rotational speed of up to 80.000 rpm for an impeller size of 15 cm and at the same time seal the compressor room from […]

DryFiciency EEAB workshop in Salzburg

Some 13 participants outside the DryFiciency consortium including industrial heat pump experts, energy consultants, industry associations and industrial end users attended the second External Experts Advisory Board (EEAB) Business Development workshop in Salzburg.  The workshop was held ahead of the 1st Demonstration Event of the DryFiciency High Temperature Heat Pump System installed at the brick factory of Wienerberger […]

First Demonstration of the DryF Heat Pump system to be conducted at Wienerberger AG

Wienerberger has integrated the DryF closed loop high temperature heat pump demonstrator in a brick drying system at their production site in Uttendorf, Upper Austria. “DryFiciency fills the current gap in heat pump technologies necessary to fully operate our brick dryers on heat pumps recovering latent energy from moist air and providing high temperatures for drying.” Stefan Puskas, responsible Project Manager Engineering at Wienerberger AG […]

DryFiciency welcomes new consortium member Scanship

From Q3 2019 the DryFiciency consortium will be sporting a new member in its midst: The Norwegian waste and waste water management pioneer Scanship will be responsible to conduct dryer test runs of the MVR system in a land-based waste management system in Drammen (Norway) for bio-sludge drying.   Scanship – New Norwegian DryFiciency partner Scanship is […]
