Green steam from heat you already have
The technology can deliver steam with temperatures of up to 250 °C, outperforming any other commercially available technology.
Cost efficient
Replace costly oil, gas and electricity with recycled waste heat – and get cooling as a free by-product.
CO? reduction
Close to 1 300 tonnes of CO? avoided per year with one HighLift – comparable to around 800 private cars.
Energy recovery
Low temperature waste heat that would otherwise be lost is lifted into high value process heat and steam.
Environmentally friendly
Helium is non-toxic and non-flammable with a GWP and ODP of zero – safe for people and the planet.
A 200-year-old cycle, reinvented for industry
HighLift uses a reverse Stirling cycle: an electric motor adds mechanical work to lift waste heat to the temperatures your process needs.
-
Waste heat in
Low temperature heat from cooling water, condensers or other processes is used as the heat source.
-
HighLift lifts it
Helium is compressed and expanded in a four-cylinder, double-acting engine – no phase changes, very few temperature restrictions.
-
Steam out
High value process heat and steam of up to 250 °C – with cooling delivered as a free by-product.
1 300 tonnes less CO? every year
Compared to alternative energy sources, one HighLift heat pump cuts emissions from steam generation by close to 1 300 metric tonnes of CO? per year – about the same as 800 private cars.
HighLift’s annual CO? emissions amount to only 2 % of an oil boiler’s for the same energy utilisation.
How HighLift stacks up
HighLift provides much higher temperature lifts than other industrial heat pumps – while replacing fossil fuel boilers and saving electricity compared to electric boilers.
