Glaciem heat pumps

The food and beverage sector requires hot air or hot water for process heating, sanitation and space heating. COP26 and increasing consumer expectations demand better stewardship of the use of fossil fuels. Decarbonisation of this heating requires that we address the challenging transition from burning gas and other forms of heating that produce high-intensity carbon emissions.

Glaciem heat pumps are distinctive because they use the refrigeration cycle with CO₂ as a refrigerant. Unlike other natural refrigerants, CO₂ is non-flammable and non-toxic. It has almost no global warming impact if it is released.

Glaciem heat pumps are available for large-scale heating demands up to multi-megawatt in a single system. CO₂ heat pumps are also able to deliver hot water at more than 90°C or hot air at 120°C. When they are providing heating, heat pumps can also provide cooling without additional electrical power. This cooling can supplement the cooling provided by other refrigeration systems.

Heat pumps are also energy efficient, producing more thermal energy than the electrical power used to run them. When all these values are put together CO₂ heat pumps can deliver economic value at scale while supporting decarbonisation in the food and beverage sector. They reduce energy consumption and maximise the use of renewable energy.

Glaciem application engineers can provide techno-economic analysis and advice to develop the feasibility analysis and to design a tailor-made heat pump around a user’s particular application and demands.
