A novel high‑temperature steam producing heat pump at a Belgian sugar factory shows the potential for decarbonization of the food industry.
Steam producing heat pumps are a key for decarbonizing the food industry. This presentation focuses a development, integration, and demonstration of a novel high-temperature heat pump made under the framework in the Horizon Europe project “SPIRIT”. It is a pentane based heat pump which recovers low-grade waste steam at a Belgian sugar factory to deliver up to 4 MW of steam at 140 °C, partly replacing fossil steam and demonstrating how such systems can enable climate-neutral process heat.
