Part 7/12:
This is where heat pumps—a technology well established in heating homes—becomes a game-changer for industries. Unlike resistive heaters that generate heat directly, heat pumps transfer heat from one place to another, achieving high efficiencies (coefficients of performance, or COP, often between 3 and 7).
Atmos Zero’s advanced heat pump system accomplishes this by producing high-temperature steam (up to 200°C) directly from ambient air, even when external temperatures plummet to -20°C. The core magic lies in their innovative multi-stage compression cycle:
- Stage 1: Absorbs heat from cold outdoor air via a low-temperature refrigerant loop.
