CO2 Heat Pumps have come a long way in terms of design and engineering. These solutions offer better performance and efficiency. One area where innovation has been key is in the improvement of compressor technology. Advanced compressor designs, like variable speed and capacity regulation, permanent magnet technology, or scroll compressors, together with ejector technology, allow for precise temperature regulation and superior energy efficiency. This makes them flexible and easy to use, while also reducing energy consumption.
Improvements in the design of heat exchangers have led to increased efficiency in transferring heat. This resulted in better performance of CO2 Heat Pumps. These advancements have also made these systems more compact and versatile. As a result, they can be installed in more flexible ways and can save space.
This year, SCM Frigo presents its SMART Heat Pump, developed in partnership with Fenagy. This technology leverages the power of carbon dioxide, a natural refrigerant, to provide highly efficient and eco-friendly heating and cooling for various applications.
“Our main goal was to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and adaptability for diverse settings. In that way, our CO2 heat pump is designed to meet the demands of commercial and industrial processes, offering energy-efficient solutions for both applications”, said in company.
“Future wise, this heat pump will be available as a water-to-water heat pump and air-to-water. The range goes from a light commercial to light industrial, so between 30-40 kW up to 300-350 kW on heating capacity. This heat pump will be a heat pump with natural refrigerant, so it will be a sustainable solution”, Manfred explains.
Now is the time for businesses to keep up with the latest Heat Pump products with CO2 transcritical technology. They can benefit from increased efficiency in commercial building applications, hot water production, industrial processes such as food processing, and HVAC systems.
