Trends in Industry
Recognized as a pivotal technology in decarbonizing heat, heat pumps have garnered increasing policy support across numerous countries in recent years. According to the IEA, these pumps possess the potential to limit global CO2 emissions by a staggering 500 million tonnes by 2030—an amount equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of the entire European automotive fleet.
Despite presently catering to just 10% of the global building heating demand, heat pumps are making substantial strides with a robust double-digit growth, particularly pronounced in Europe (IEA).
Within the realm of contemporary heating and cooling systems, the pursuit of maximum efficiency remains the main objective. In the case of heat pumps, this is effectively achieved by meticulously controlling the temperature differential between the evaporator and condenser. Consequently, the optimization of heat exchangers tailored to specific system requirements emerges as a critical factor.
Creating an energy-efficient indoor climate
Heat pumps are highly efficient, electrically driven systems primarily employed to heat residential structures and generate hot tap water. In their reversible mode, they also facilitate cooling operations.
Within the refrigeration cycle, heat emerges through a condensation process and is subsequently channeled to either air or water. Serving as versatile components, Alfa Laval's brazed plate heat exchangers play dual roles—operating as either liquid evaporators or condensers and even serving as economizers.
