Key benefits for your organization
Increased overall efficiency
Depending on the model, system design, and heat source used, heat pumps can generate up to 5 kWh of heat from 1 kWh of electricity, in contrast to conventional heating systems like electric boilers, which convert electricity into heat at a nearly 1:1 ratio. This makes them significantly more efficient.
sustainable energy sources
Heat pumps utilize a large portion of energy from the immediate surroundings. These renewable energy sources are virtually inexhaustible and independent of economic or political influences.
longevity
Heat pump systems operate consistently and provide reliable heat production throughout their lifespan without significant disruptions or repairs, as long as they are correctly designed, installed, and regularly maintained.
customized systems
We develop solutions that are tailored to your needs and the challenges of your project. We take care of the entire planning process, including civil engineering, commissioning, and turnkey handover. Additionally, we offer service support during the ongoing operation.

Our large heat pumps for demanding applications
Scalable and designed for large systems
Our large heat pumps start at a thermal output of 500 kW and are flexibly adapted to your needs. They are ideal for large systems and deliver exactly the required performance through their scalability.
We utilize various heat sources such as air, geothermal energy, groundwater, drinking water, river water, wastewater, process waste heat, and waste heat from, for example, data centers. The heat sink temperatures range from 50°C to 145°C, while the source temperatures can vary between 0°C and 100°C. We use both natural and synthetic refrigerants.
These versatile features make our heat pumps particularly efficient and adaptable to different requirements and application areas.
We develop solutions that are perfectly tailored to your needs and the challenges of your project. Manufacturer-independent, with scalable performance and customized to your requirements. We are happy to provide advice!
Leverage synergies and generate low-emission heat: Large heat pumps in CHP systems
Large heat pump systems are particularly attractive for industries that require continuous high amounts of heat. By integrating such systems into CHP systems, companies and energy providers can further increase their energy efficiency and improve the overall system efficiency.
iCHP: Innovative combined heat and power (CHP)
iCHP systems (innovative combined heat and power) are distinguished by their integration of renewable heat sources, such as solar thermal energy, or their combination with a heat pump, unlike conventional CHP systems.
The large heat pumps utilize heat from various possible renewable sources and raise it to a higher temperature level. This higher-temperature heat can then be used for various purposes such as heating, hot water preparation, or industrial processes.
iCHP combines innovative technologies with proven methods to create a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and controllable energy supply.
Are you looking for a partner to realize your iCHP project? We are happy to assist you.

The functioning of a heat pump, explained simply
The heat pump extracts heat from a natural heat source, such as air, ground, or water, even at low outside temperatures.
1
1
A liquid refrigerant in the evaporator of the pump absorbs the heat and is thereby converted into a gaseous state.
2
2
The gaseous refrigerant is compressed in the compressor. This increase in pressure causes the temperature of the refrigerant to rise significantly.
3
3
The now hot, gaseous refrigerant releases its heat to the heating system. As it cools down, the refrigerant condenses back into a liquid state.
4
4
In the expansion valve, the liquid refrigerant is expanded, causing its temperature to drop. It can then absorb heat from the surroundings again, and the cycle starts over.
