Electrification of Industrial Heat with High-Temperature Steam-Generating Heat Pumps

Project Innovation

Skyven Technologies proposes to bring an innovative, industrial-steam-generating, heat pump technology to low-rate initial production (LRIP). This new electric heat pump technology recycles industrial heat waste to aid in the production of industrial steam at temperatures and pressures that have only been achievable using traditional fossil fuel fired boilers. Skyven has already proven the efficacy of this technology in custom-engineered installations, but with this grant, they seek to substantially lower installation costs by bringing a packaged, pre-engineered, family of systems into LRIP. This simplified design and production process will create a commercially viable solution for electrifying industrial steam generation.
