SubsidieMeestersRΕΗΕΑΤ: REcycled industrial HEAT
The ecop Rotation Heat Pump RHP K7 provides a sustainable, efficient solution for industrial heat recovery, reducing fossil fuel dependence and supporting EU decarbonization goals.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Heat is responsible for 74% of energy consumption in industry. 90% of this energy comes from fossil fuels, making industry the leading contributing economic sector to global GHG emissions. With the introduction of tariffs for CO2 emissions as well as high energy prices (i.e., gas is the dominant source of heat in the industrial sector, but at the same time one of the most expensive and non-carbon neutral resources), process heat is nowadays a major cost factor for many industries.
Legal Obligations
In addition, there is a legal obligation under EU rules to implement improvements in energy efficiency and decarbonize (e.g., EU Green Deal). To that direction, industrial heat recovery is a key factor in order to achieve fossil fuels’ independence to meet the climate goals. Nevertheless, there is a gap for renewable industrial heat for low to medium temperatures (100°C - 200°C).
Innovation in Heat Recovery
ecop has developed the Rotation Heat Pump RHP K7 (700 kWth), the first high-efficient and environmentally friendly industrial Heat Pump (HP), providing a valid alternative to fossil fuels’ heat production. Thanks to its innovative rotation principle (counter-clockwise Joule thermodynamic process generated by means of centrifuge), our first-of-a-kind, self-developed, and internationally patented technology (68 active patents) enables heat recovery (use of waste heat) in various energy-intensive sectors as well as district heating applications. This technology allows companies to transform their operations in line with the EU Energy Directives.
Benefits of RHP K7
RHP K7 specifically closes the gap for renewable industrial heat for temperature ranges up to 200°C. Our unique design results in a number of benefits:
- Production of CO2-free, sustainable industrial heat without dependence on fossil fuels
- Efficient use of waste heat: High efficiency at every temperature level
- Contribution to climate targets and decarbonization: Eco & climate-friendly working gas
- Savings in energy costs
