Industrial heat pump expertise

  • Industrial heat pump applications

    Industrial heat pumps are suitable for a wide range of industries where heating, cooling or waste heat recovery play an important role.

    Typical applications include:

    • Food & Beverage
    • Dairy processing
    • Chemical industry
    • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
    • Pulp & Paper
    • Wood processing
    • Textile industry
    • Data centres
    • District heating
    • Manufacturing plants
    • Industrial refrigeration
    • Wastewater treatment
  • Recover waste heat and reduce energy costs

    Many industrial processes generate excess heat that is simply released into the environment.

    Oilon industrial heat pumps recover this low-temperature waste heat and upgrade it into useful thermal energy that can be reused for:

    • Process heating
    • Hot water production
    • District heating
    • Space heating
    • Cleaning processes
    • Drying processes

    By utilizing energy that would otherwise be wasted, businesses can significantly reduce energy consumption and improve overall plant efficiency.

  • Heating and cooling in one system

    Many Oilon heat pumps support Combined Heating & Cooling (CHC) technology.

    Instead of producing only cooling or only heating, the system simultaneously delivers both.

    This means:

    • useful process heat is recovered
    • cooling demand is satisfied
    • overall energy efficiency increases
    • operating costs decrease

    For many industrial processes, this is one of the most efficient ways to utilize electricity.

  • Data center heat recovery

    The rapid growth of data centers is creating new opportunities to recover waste heat. Oilon industrial heat pumps provide simultaneous cooling and heat recovery, converting excess heat into valuable energy for district heating, industrial processes and large buildings.

    Oilon’s expertise is proven in one of the world’s largest data center heat recovery projects, where waste heat from Microsoft’s data center campus is recovered for Fortum’s district heating network. The solution will supply district heating for around 100,000 households, reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 400,000 tonnes annually, and achieve a combined COP of 6.6.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What temperatures can Oilon industrial heat pumps produce?

    Depending on the model, Oilon industrial heat pumps can produce hot water temperatures of up to 120°C, making them suitable for demanding industrial process heating, district heating and high-temperature applications that traditionally relied on fossil fuels.

  • What heating capacities are available?

    Oilon industrial heat pumps cover a wide capacity range:

    • P-Series: 30–1,000 kW
    • S180–S580: 100–1,000 kW
    • S600–S2000: 100–4,000 kW

    Multiple units can be combined to create significantly larger heating and cooling systems for industrial facilities and district energy networks.

  • What is the efficiency (COP) of an industrial heat pump?

    The efficiency depends on the application and operating temperatures. In combined heating and cooling (CHC) applications, Oilon systems have achieved COP values up to 6.6, meaning one unit of electricity can produce up to 6.6 units of useful heating and cooling energy

  • What temperatures are required for an industrial heat pump to operate efficiently?

    The optimal solution depends on both the available heat source and the required output temperature. FILTER evaluates your process conditions, available waste heat and heating demand to recommend the most suitable heat pump configuration for maximum efficiency and long-term performance.

  • Are industrial heat pumps suitable for data centers?

    Yes. Data centers generate large amounts of waste heat that can be recovered using industrial heat pumps. Oilon’s technology is used in one of the world’s largest data center heat recovery projects, recovering waste heat from Microsoft’s data center campus for district heating with a COP of 6.6, 85°C supply temperature and enough recovered energy to heat around 100,000 households.

  • Does FILTER provide complete heat pump solutions?

    Yes. FILTER provides complete turnkey solutions, including feasibility studies, energy analysis, system design, equipment supply, installation, automation, commissioning and long-term service support.
