New: Heat Pump Glossary –
Glossary on High-Temperature Heat Pumps
Knowledge that makes a difference
Key terms related to high-temperature heat pumps explained in a practical context
What exactly does the COP value reveal about the energy efficiency of industrial heat pumps? How does a plate heat exchanger work? And which refrigerants are especially suitable for high-temperature applications? These and many other questions are answered in the new SPH glossary. It provides clear, practical explanations of key technical terms relating to high-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs), with a focus on industrial applications.
The decarbonization of industry introduces both technological and regulatory challenges for users. High-temperature heat pumps are seen as a key technology for the emission-free supply of process heat. A clear and transparent explanation of how they work and the regulatory framework is essential for rapid implementation.
Whether for project developers, plant engineers, or decision-makers: the glossary offers a solid knowledge base for navigating the complex field of the industrial energy transition. Especially useful: in addition to technical details, it also provides context on broader strategic topics and introduces key institutions relevant to the industrial high-temperature heat pump sector in Europe.
To ensure access to up-to-date and dependable information, the glossary is being systematically expanded and regularly updated. In doing so, SPH supports industrial stakeholders in the effective and future-proof transformation toward climate-neutral process heat.
