About the project
UP-FLEXH develops a FOAK cost effective and reliable high-temperature industrial heat pump (HTHP), based on Stirling cycles and exploiting a non-toxic, inert, zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP) fluid, thus ensuring minimal environmental impact, able to deliver decarbonized heat up to 400°C, outcompeting all available commercial heat pumps technologies. Such an integrated system and HTHP will be also able to provide relevant industrial cooling conditions (at temperature bellow 20°C) and recovery of waste heat streams (at temperature bellow 150°C), as well as opportunities for power production via reversible operation of the HTHP.
