Heat Pumps for Industrial and District Heating Solutions
Heat pumps are a cost-effective solution for generating both heat and cooling by capturing thermal energy from a low-temperature source, upgrading it to useful heat at higher temperature. As a pioneer in ORC power systems, leveraging its deep knowledge in turbomachinery design, engineering and process integration, Exergy has designed the innovative X-heat industrial heat pump series which include both small and large heat pumps ideal for a wide range of industrial applications and district heat systems.
TRANSFORMING HEAT PRODUCTION WITH INDUSTRIAL HEAT PUMPS
Advantages of Industrial Heat Pumps
Industrial heat pumps are the ideal solution to the growing needs of decarbonizing heat generation in industrial processes and district heating networks. Instead of burning fossil fuels, industrial heat pumps use electricity to move thermal energy, delivering significantly more heat with the same amount of electricity compared to direct electrical heating. Industrial heat pumps contribute to lower operational costs and provide a sustainable and cost-effective energy supply.
Applications and Temperature Range of Exergy X-heat Heat Pump Series
Exergy X-heat industrial heat pump series is available from small- to large-scale applications in the temperature range from conventional (~50°C) to high temperature (>90°C until 150°C):
Exergy’s X-heat series can be ideally employed for heat generation in such industries:

How a heat pump works
At the core of a large heat pump is a highly efficient thermodynamic cycle. This process transfers heat from a low-temperature source (such as air, water, or geothermal energy) to a higher-temperature destination.
- Evaporation: the refrigerant fluid absorbs heat from the heat source, converting to a vapour.
- Compression: The refrigerant vapour is compressed, increasing its pressure and temperature.
- Condensation: At the condenser the refrigerant releases heat to the heat user
- Expansion: The expansion valve expands the refrigerant condensate, reducing its pressure and temperature and return to the evaporator to restart the cycle
