Alfa Laval’s role in advancing high-temperature heat pump technology
As many industries accelerate their transition toward sustainable energy, high-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) are emerging as a key technology to decarbonize process heating. Alfa Laval plays a central role in this shift by providing high-efficiency heat transfer solutions that unlock the full potential of HTHPs - even at demanding temperature levels and large systems.
High-temperature heat pumps are uniquely positioned to replace fossil-fuel-based boilers, as they can upgrade low-grade waste heat into valuable process heat. However, achieving these levels efficiently requires heat exchangers that can handle extreme thermal and mechanical conditions, while also maintaining the compact, reliable, and long-lasting performance that makes HTHPs competitive. This is where Alfa Laval’s portfolio brings measurable advantages.
Alfa Laval is an important contributor to the development of next-generation clean energy systems, adding a new heat exchanger technology that will deliver compact, high-performance features for HTHPs. This new (Plate and Fin) technology is engineered to cope with the high pressures and temperature ranges of this type of application. But that is not all. The robust stainless-steel designs offer exceptional durability, while maintaining excellent thermal performance, lowering energy consumption, and reducing the overall footprint of heat pump systems. With Alfa Laval’s new advanced heat exchangers, high temperature heat pumps can maximize efficiency, safety, and uptime while significantly reduce their CO₂ footprint.
Our versatile portfolio, including also semi-welded, brazed and fusion-bonded plate heat exchangers in continuous development makes sure that we have a solution to every need. It covers every size of heat pump, ranging from just a few kW to systems larger than 50 MW. It also comes with a wide selection of materials to suit any environment and prevent critical corrosion issues. And, with an Alfa Laval heat exchanger in your applications, you also benefit from a lower refrigerant charge – making it a cost, energy, and environmentally efficient option for even the most demanding operating conditions.
The promise of this next wave is clear:
- Energy efficient heat transfer to reduce HTHP energy consumption.
- Replacing fossil fuel boilers with advanced heat pump technologies to accelerate industrial decarbonization.
- Increasing heat exchanger reliability, making sure that your heat pump consistently provides heat whenever and wherever it is needed.
- Compact designs that minimize the refrigerant needs and lower installation costs.
Alfa Laval is committed to tackling tomorrow’s challenges today - bringing forward technologies that will make industrial heating cleaner, smarter, and more resilient.
