Application
Producing high-temperature hot water with industrial heat pumps is one of the most efficient ways to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in industry.
In detail
Producing high-temperature hot water with industrial heat pumps is one of the most efficient ways to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in industry.
Compared with conventional fossil-fuel systems, heat pumps use renewable energy sources and waste heat to generate hot water at up to 120 ºC with high seasonal efficiencies.
This technology is particularly suitable for industrial processes with a continuous demand for thermal energy, allowing gas or oil boilers, including process steam generation, to be fully or partly replaced and helping to decarbonise installations. As well as reducing primary energy consumption, it improves the overall efficiency of the process by recovering and using the waste heat generated in the installation itself. The most advanced solutions use low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, also reducing the system’s environmental impact.
The Oilon ChillHeat range of high-temperature water-to-water industrial heat pumps is the benchmark solution in sectors such as the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, paper, textile and beverage industries, as well as in district heating networks and other installations with high thermal demand.

At Absorsistem we design customised solutions for high-temperature hot water production, selecting the most suitable technology for the needs of each project and optimising both energy performance and return on investment.
