InterHeat project drives industrial heat with ultra-high temperature heat pumps

The project is an initiative by the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), that showcases the efficiency of ultra-high-temperature heat pumps in modern industrial applications.

The European InterHeat Project, launched by the Danish Technological Institute (DTI), is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming industrial heating processes through the deployment of ultra-high-temperature heat pumps. By integrating advanced heat pump technology, the project focuses on improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions in modern industrial settings; decarbonising production processes.

Frascold is advancing technological innovation through its involvement in the European InterHeat project. It has provided two compact CX ATEX screw semi-hermetic compressors, which operate at temperatures above 100°C, suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors needing high temperatures for processes like sterilisation and drying. With an internationally recognised ATEX certification, the CX Air series has met high standards for quality and safety.

Emphasising dedication to sustainability, Marco Perri, R&D Manager at Frascold, said, “Frascold sees the InterHeat project as an opportunity to accelerate the adoption of more sustainable and efficient technologies in the industrial sector.”

Testing at DTI’s lab, the high-temperature heat pump aims to achieve production temperatures between 150°C and 160°C. Frascold also specialises in custom temperature solutions besides manufacturing. It offers prototypes tailored to specific needs, ensuring maximum efficiency and adaptability across various industrial applications. Its role in the InterHeat project underscores its commitment to sustainable energy solutions, reinforcing its industry leadership in innovating for an environmentally respectful future.

Frascold is a key player in semi-hermetic compressor development for the refrigeration and heating industries.
