Heat Pumps — frequently asked
Which refrigerant should I choose for an industrial heat pump?
For sink temperatures up to ~90 °C, CO₂ (R744) is efficient and future-proof. Above 90 °C and up to 165 °C, ammonia or synthetic HFOs perform better. Site safety zoning and F-gas regulation should drive the final decision.
What COP should I expect from a high-temperature heat pump?
For a 30 °C source and 80 °C sink, well-designed industrial heat pumps deliver COP 3.5–4.5. Higher lifts (to 140–165 °C) typically run at COP 2.0–2.8, still comfortably beating boilers on OPEX and CO₂.
Can heat pumps replace a gas boiler completely?
In most food, pharma and light manufacturing sites — yes, especially when combined with waste-heat recovery from refrigeration racks or chillers. Very high-temperature process steam (>180 °C) may still need hybrid or electric-boiler backup.
How does ColdMatch source heat pumps?
We brief 3–5 shortlisted manufacturers within 48 hours with a structured spec (duty, source, sink, refrigerant, controls, integration), then benchmark quotes side-by-side on COP, CAPEX and lifecycle cost.
One structured RFQ, vendor-neutral to shortlisted suppliers. Prefilled with pillar context — you refine the details. No commitment, no fees.
