Traditional heat pumps are not yet advanced enough to reach the extremes of thousands of degrees necessary for sectors like steel production or ceramics. Instead, their application lies in the lower temperature range of 200° to 300°C (392° to 572°F) where industries like textiles, pharmaceuticals, and food processing can benefit.
Innovative Approaches
Two notable companies have stepped forward with promising developments in this area: Carmon Industries, a California startup, and Heaton, a German company. Each company is working on employing different technologies to improve energy efficiency and output.
