WSE-TURBO
WSE-TURBO designs and produces compressors for high-temperature heat pumps and mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) systems for industrial steam and hot-water duties. The core technology is direct driveradial turbo-compressors working with water/steam (R718), allowing very efficient electrification of process heat while avoiding synthetic refrigerants and their climate impacts. In open-cycle MVR, the vapor is compressed and reused directly for heating or steam generation; in closed-cycle heat-pump, the machines upgrade waste heat to process-useful levels. WSE-TURBO’s compressor technology is directly derived from high-speed micro gas turbine technology with proven track records.
Using steam as the working fluid enables high supply temperatures and straightforward site handling. Target temperature ranges up to roughly 150–195 °C in relevant configurations, depending on lift and staging requirements.
WSE-TURBO was formed as a spin-out from Weel & Sandvig and Ecergy (Sweden), which had been developing and designing industrial energy-efficiency solutions, micro gas turbines and R718 heat-pump concepts; the new entity concentrates those activities to scale delivery for the green transition.
Beyond equipment, the company engages early with sites to map heat sources/sinks, run thermodynamic modelling and simulations, and configure the compressor train and heat-exchange layout to meet temperature and duty requirements with minimal electricity use. This front-end engineering approach is intended to de-risk projects and right-size installations for sectors such as chemicals, food, pulp & paper, and district energy.
In short, WSE-TURBO brings steam-compatible turbo-compression to industrial decarbonization: electrify heat, retrofit into existing loops, and use a benign working fluid while reaching temperatures that conventional heat pumps and many low-GWP refrigerants struggle to achieve.
