Problem
Many industrial processes rely on high-temperature steam, leading to significant energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Traditional methods of generating this steam are often inefficient and costly, particularly in applications requiring sub-MW capacities. Existing heat pump technologies struggle to deliver process steam at temperatures exceeding 100°C in a cost-effective manner.
Solution
Futraheat offers the Greensteam series of industrial heat pumps, powered by the patented TurboClaw compressor technology, to provide high-temperature process steam up to 150°C. The TurboClaw compressor is an oil-free, sub-MW centrifugal design that operates at lower speeds, reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs. Greensteam heat pumps integrate easily into existing factory infrastructure and can reduce energy consumption by up to 90%, significantly lowering operational costs and CO2 emissions. The Greensteam 360 model, a 300kW unit, can deliver a 60°C temperature lift and multiple units can be combined for capacities up to 1.5MWt.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industrial facilities requiring high-temperature process steam, particularly those seeking to reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and decrease CO2 emissions.
