I-UPS
Innovative High Temperature Heat Pump for Flexible Industrial
I-UPS develops a first-of-its-kind, cost-effective high-temperature industrial heat pump and thermal storage system, aiming for efficient heat decarbonization. The project, a collaboration among SMEs, research institutions, and industrial partners, focuses on integrating this innovative heat pump into flexible energy systems. It targets medium-temperature applications (~400°C) in an industrial setting. By optimising key components and leveraging advanced technologies, I-UPS enhances system flexibility and sustainability. This initiative helps position Europe as a leader in industrial heat pump solutions, promoting energy efficiency, waste heat recovery, and reduced carbon emissions in the industrial sector.
