Steam Compressors for Heat Pumps
High temperature Heat Pumps can be tools to achieve the goal decarbonization. Using water as the working gas is the most environmental friendly solution. It requires special technologies to be applied like oil-free operation, special shaft-seals and rotor profiles.

Session description
Decarbonization requires the replacement of fossil fuels. Retrofitting traditional district heating systems and several industrial steam applications with high temperature Heat Pumps can be tools to achieve this goal. Using water as the working gas is the most environmental benign solution but it requires special technology to be applied. SRM has developed a new series of compressors featuring oil-free operation, innovative shaft-seals and high-efficient rotor profiles.
