Echogen Power Systems announces HTHP program
Echogen Power Systems has announced the initiation of a pioneering program to design , build , install , and operate a pilot-scale high-temperature heat pump ( HTHP ) system . With an award of $ 3,000,000 over three years through the U . S . Department of Energy Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office ( IEDO ), the program aims to reduce industrial greenhouse emissions and advance a net-zero economy . The program aims to develop a 500 kWth HTHP capable of generating > 300 ° C air from an ambient temperature heat source . The HTHP working fluid will be carbon dioxide ( CO2 ), a natural refrigerant with a low global warming potential ( GWP = 1 ). At
commercial scales ( 5 to 25 MWth ) the system is projected to demonstrate a compelling capital and operating cost profile , achieving better than a 3-year simple payback period when compared to other green heating technologies such as direct electrical heaters . This technology will decarbonize industrial heating applications , in the chemicals , food and beverage , and consumer goods manufacturing sectors . With potential life cycle reductions of over 90 % in carbon emissions and over 50 % in energy intensity relative to natural gasfired heaters , Echogen ’ s HTHP system offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for industrial energy needs .
