Solid Energy expands UK offering with ultra-high temperature heat pump options
Solid Energy has upgraded its hydrocarbon range of ultra-high temperature modular heat pumps for the UK market, with the new line-up capable of reaching flow temperatures of 170°C.
At a launch event hosted by the Danish Embassy in London, the large heat pump specialist highlighted the benefits of a solution aimed at customers looking to decarbonise process heat operations.
Industrial process heat applications in factories, food processing and distilleries are expected to be the main focus for the very high temperature options, while the system can also provide cooling if required.
Operating on a choice of four hydrocarbon refrigerants, depending on application, the high temperature units use the same compressor technology and other components found in Solid Energy heat pumps already delivering low temperature district heating projects.
Designed and built in Denmark, the heat pumps are delivered fully factory tested with minimal installation required, while integrated refrigerant leak detection and ATEX compliant ventilation ensures compliance with UK and European safety directives.
