Direct hot air Heat Pumps

Decarbonizing industrial drying and heating Decarbonizing industrial drying

Heatlift HA is a hot air high-temperature heat pump specially engineered for industrial drying and heating process decarbonization.

This heat pump captures low-grade heat from cooling loops, humid air, process condensation, flue gases or ambient sources, and raises it to produce directly hot air using in-house manufactured centrifugal compressors and a safe and environmentally friendly refrigerant.

The generated hot air can reach temperatures of up to 200°C and can be easily used in processes such as drying, heating and cooking and effectively replace fossil fuel boilers without an intermediary.

Producing carbon-free hot air efficiently

Producing efficient clean hot air

Heatlift HA provides industries with an efficient and economical solution for drying and heating with hot air.

Économies d'énergie

Energy and Cost Savings

Final energy consumption can be reduced by up to 4 times, leading to significant savings by upcycling waste heat.

Direct hot air generation avoid additional cost through intermediary steam or heatling loop.

Réduction CO2

CO₂ Emissions Reduction

÷10

Replacing your fossil fuel boiler with heat pumps can divide your emissions by 10.

Steam optimization

Optimization

100%

High-quality hot air production is optimized by avoiding intermediary steam or heating loop and allow an additional "free" hot water production using cycle's waste heat, increasing COP up to +0.7.

Seamless plant integration

Heatlift HA is designed for full integration into existing process infrastructures, including :

  • Low-grade waste heat recovery systems to maximise efficiency
  • Custom feasibility studies to assess heat potential and optimize operations
  • Collaboration with major EPC contractors in waste heat recovery and site integration
