Description

To be able to move away from fossil fuels and introduce green technology, Heat Pumps are essential and a requirement to stop the negative climate change.
Fortunately, today there’s a growing interest for Heat Pumps that can reach higher temperatures.
Many initiatives are driving this interest. RepowerEU is pushing for EU to be less dependent on natural gas and electrification of heating across Europe. Furthermore many large companies in the food and beverage segment are looking into leading the way by achieving net zero before 2050.
At JCI we are constantly developing our portfolio according to the needs in the market.
With the release of a new Heat Pump utilizing hydrocarbons excellent thermodynamic properties, Sabroe wants to continue supporting our customers in the electrification of heating by extending our heat pump portfolio with new Heat Pump technology aimed at the market specifically at temperatures above 100 °C.
During the presentation the following topics will be covered:
- Why choose hydrocarbons to reach these temperatures?
Finding the right refrigerant for a new application is a balance between many factors like pressure, efficiency, global warming potential, cost of refrigerant etc.
- What safety measures should be taken when using a flammable refrigerant?
Using a flammable refrigerant is safe when following standards and doing a proper risk assessment.
- What advancement have been done to enable heat pumps above 100 °C?
Moving into a new temperature have resulted in development of components to be able to handle these higher temperatures. What has changed and what is staying the same?
- How have this product been optimized with low first cost in mind?
Using a different refrigerant have enabled new possibilities. These will be explored during the presentation.
- How have this product been optimized with easy integration with end user application?
Developing a new product gives the possibility to challenge the previous way of making Heat Pumps.
- How have this product been optimized with reliability in mind and high efficiency?
