Imagine a giant, high-tech thermos that doesn't just keep things warm, but actively grabs wasted heat from a factory and pumps it back up to a much higher temperature. It uses a spinning motion to squeeze heat, similar to how a bicycle pump heats up as you compress air. This allows factories to reuse heat that was previously too cool to be useful, replacing expensive gas burners.
Industrial heat is 74% of energy use and 90% fossil-fuel based, making it a major cost and emission driver. There is a critical gap in renewable heat solutions for the 100°C to 200°C range.
A redesigned rotor using Microchannel Diffusion Bonding (MCDB) technology, along with new housing and water/gas connections for the rotation heat pump.
If you are a chemical plant operator dealing with high gas costs and CO2 tariffs — this project developed a 700 kWth rotation heat pump that recovers waste heat up to 200°C. This allows you to replace fossil fuel burners with sustainable, CO2-free heat.
If you are a municipal energy provider dealing with the need to decarbonize city heating — this project developed a high-efficiency heat pump that utilizes waste energy. It enables the transition to carbon-neutral heating networks in line with EU Green Deal rules.
If you are a food processor dealing with energy-intensive heating requirements — this project developed a system capable of temperature lifts of 100K and more. This reduces dependence on expensive gas and lowers overall energy costs.
The system provides savings in energy costs by recovering waste heat and reducing the reliance on expensive fossil fuels like gas.
The RHP K7 model has a thermal capacity of 700 kWth and can provide heat for temperature ranges up to 200°C.
The technology is internationally patented with 68 active patents.
It helps companies comply with EU Green Deal rules and EU Energy Directives regarding energy efficiency and decarbonization.
The project period runs from 2024-12-01 to 2026-08-31.
The project is led by a single Austrian SME, ECOP TECHNOLOGIES GMBH, with a 100% industry ratio. This indicates a highly focused commercial drive where the developer is also the sole implementer, reducing coordination overhead but relying entirely on the SME's internal capacity.
