Industrial heat pumps (IHPs) can power a range of industrial processes, from whiskey distillation to paper drying .

IHPs are significantly larger and higher temperature than residential heat pumps, designed to handle to huge heating and cooling demands in manufacturing facilities.

However, they’re also much less widely deployed in the United States (see this map of US deployments).

We’ve recently seen several new deployments, including AtmosZero’s Boiler 2.0 at New Belgium’s brewing facility in Fort Collins, CO, as well as a GEA heat pump at Nestle’s new facility in Glendale, AZ.

We’re also witnessing a significant increase in US-based manufacturing operations, with Armstrong International developing high-temperature heat pumps in Michigan, Vilter by Copeland manufacturing its VQ95 in Wisconsin, Karman Industries developing scalable models in California, Skyven building steam-generating heat pumps in Texas, GEA assembling piston heat pumps in Pennsylvania, and many more.

Rather, it’s due to the demand pull from companies with near-term climate targets, excellent international research efforts and proven deployment successes, policy support to bolster domestic energy supply chains, and mass market education efforts from researchers, advocates, and technology suppliers.
