Qvantum launches electric heaters to decarbonise urban Europe
The Swedish heat-pump systems and technology company Qvantum announces the closing of its 460 MSEK Series B capital raise . The new capital will support Qvantum ’ s growth and expansion strategy and accelerate the go-to-market of its next-generation electric heat pumps and innovative technology into densely populated urban areas and cities across Europe . The European heating markets are highly dependent on the import and usage of fossil natural gas . As the combustion of fossil fuels must be phased out promptly , low-carbon
electric energy heating and cooling systems will play an important role . The European Green Deal , by the European Commission , has
set bold ambitions - to be the first climateneutral continent in the world . According to the International Energy Agency ( IEA ), switching to electric heat pumps can cut global greenhouse gas emissions by half a gigatonne already by 2030 . The new electric heat pump platform is modular and is designed to make the heat pump an integrated part of a local energy system . The heat pumps are emission free , reliable , and cost-efficient and will be accessible to many application fields , including in densely populated areas .
KAORI ’ S double wall brazed plate heat exchanger D206
Brazed plate heat exchangers not only come with the advantages of high efficiency and compactness but are also commonly used in commercial or residential applications such as heat pumps . In order to prevent malfunction due to internal leakage which may lead to health hazards , the conventional way is to use two separate heat exchangers for thermal transfer . However , this makes the system complicated and spacing consuming , not to mention thermal loss that brings a negative impact on the investment . Kaori develops several types of double wall ( D Series ) brazed plate heat exchangers since 2015 , adding an air gap between two fluids instead of the single plate in the conventional design . In case internal leakage happens due to corrosion , fluid will leak out from the air gap , so it will not mix with the fluid on the other side and reduce the chance of system damage and health hazard .
Furthermore , early leakage detection can be detected from the heat exchanger , so it can be replaced in the early stage . Kaori ’ s D series also passed several international water-related tests , and its effectiveness is proven . In 2022 , Kaori successfully developed the latest D206 brazed plate heat exchangers , with 528mm in length and 246mm in width , making it the biggest model in Kaori ’ s double wall series . It is also one of a few models in the market that is capable of handling up to 45 Bar working pressure in its class , making it suitable for low # GWP # refrigerants (# R32 ,# R290 , or # HFOblends refrigerants ). Kaori ’ s Double Wall comes with a complete range of 4 dimensions and 7 models .
