Challenge
Heating is one of the most demanded forms of energy globally. While using biofuels, solar heat, geothermal, and industrial waste heat helps reduce environmental impact, there’s untapped potential to make these green sources more efficient. What if we could boost the heat output from these sources while also providing cooling for industrial applications? Conventional systems rely on electricity, adding strain to power grids, and use harmful refrigerants, increasing the environmental burden.
Solution
Our Thermal Booster Technology is a heat-driven heat pump that utilizes high-grade heat (300-700°C) to amplify heat by 2-5 times. Unlike electric-driven systems, it operates with minimal electricity and integrates eco-friendly refrigerants with zero global warming potential (GWP). It also adds heat from the cold medium to the hotter one, efficiently reducing the load on electrical networks while providing sustainable heating and cooling solutions for industrial applications.
The Thermal Booster Technology provides a sustainable heating and cooling solution for various applications, including:
- Residential and Industrial Heating: Boosts efficiency for spaces already using gas.
- CCHP Applications: Utilizes biomass for combined cooling and heating.
- Food Industry: Provides reliable, economic heating and cooling in one solution.
- Greenhouse Heating: Efficiently heats greenhouses using biomass.
- Solar Cooling: Ideal for warm regions with solar-powered cooling.
- Industrial Dryers: Recovers heat to efficiently dry materials.
This technology drives both environmental and economic benefits across sectors.
Result
Increased Efficiency: By boosting heat output 2-5 times from renewable sources like solar, biofuels, and industrial waste heat, the technology maximizes energy use.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: The use of zero-GWP refrigerants and minimal electricity lowers greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global zero-carbon goals.
Decreased Strain on Electric Networks: Operating with minimal electricity reduces demand on power grids, particularly compared to conventional electric-driven heat pumps.
Cost Savings: More efficient heating and cooling processes translate to lower operational costs for industries, driving both economic and environmental benefits.
