Hot. Efficient. Green.
SPH has delivered two industrial high-temperature heat pumps to a customer that designs and builds process plants for the food and beverage industry. The project strengthens the electrification of industrial process heat and demonstrates how climate-friendly technologies can be successfully implemented in the European food industry.Continue reading
How can high temperatures in industrial processes be provided efficiently and in a climate-neutral way? Our technical article in the Heat Pumping Technologies Magazine shows how high-temperature heat pumps can economically achieve large temperature lifts of more than 80 Kelvin – and highlights the potential of electrified process heat.Continue reading
SPH has been included in the TOP TENs for Energy Efficiency 2025. The list, initiated by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE), recognises solutions that enable economically viable energy savings and deliver a measurable contribution to climate protection. The award highlights the relevance of high-temperature heat pumps for a future-oriented supply of industrial process heat.Continue reading
The AHEAD project by Takeda, a globally operating pharmaceutical company, has received Austria’s DECA Award for innovative initiatives that enhance energy efficiency and drive industrial decarbonization. Our high-temperature heat pump ThermBooster™, a key component of the system, reduces CO2 emissions by 1,600 tons per year.Continue reading
Copeland has announced its agreement to acquire SPH Sustainable Process Heat GmbH. Together, the two companies plan to combine their technological expertise and global presence to broaden their customer base and application scope in the field of industrial high-temperature heat pumps.Continue reading
As part of the “Ready, Study, Go” project, around 30 international students from the University of Applied Sciences (TH Köln) visited SPH’s Overath site. Alongside insights into production, development, and the high-temperature heat pump ThermBooster™, the program focused on hands-on workshops and conversations about career paths and entry opportunities.Continue reading
A new study by the German Industry Initiative for Energy Efficiency (DENEFF) shows: green industrial process heat is rapidly emerging as a dynamic growth market. By 2050, the market could expand to 91 billion Euro. High-temperature heat pumps such as the ThermBooster™ already offer a commercially viable, ready-to-use solution for decarbonization.Continue reading
In the latest special issue “High-Temperature and Large-Scale Heat Pumps” of the trade journal Kälte Klima Aktuell (KKA), our Managing Director Dr. Tim Hamacher explores the potential and possible application scenarios of high-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) for generating industrial process heat from low-temperature waste heat.Continue reading
Since March 2025, our expanded test stand for Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) has been operational. It allows us to test systems with all common refrigerants – synthetic as well as natural, including flammable refrigerants. Maximum safety for the protection of our employees is ensured at all times.Continue reading
For five years now, our dedicated and growing team has been developing and building the ThermBooster™ – our high-temperature heat pump designed for the sustainable use of industrial waste heat. Our technology reduces emissions and operating costs, thus helping industry decarbonize its processes. If that’s not a reason to celebrate!Continue reading
