Heatlift HA
Hot Air Heat Pump
Decarbonising industrial drying and heating
Heatlift HA is a high-temperature direct hot air generation heat pump specially engineered for industrial drying and heating process decarbonisation.
Heatlift HA heat pump upcycles waste heat from the industrial processes using it, such as humid air, cooling loops or any other ambient and industrial resource that typically dissipate into the environment.
By capturing this low-grade heat, Heatlift HA elevates its temperature to generate hot air up to 200°C used for the industrial processes of drying, heating and cooking.
Industrial heat pumps are the most practical and efficient technology for replacing natural gas, fossil fuel boilers and burners with locally produced renewable energy, supporting industries in their transition towards greener and more efficient operations.

Why using Heatlift HA ?
Replacing fossil fuel boilers
By generating hot air using the unused heat from the process, Hetalift HA provides an innovative alternative to replace fossil fuel boilers and contribute to the decarbonization of the industry.
Saving operational costs
Since hot air is generated using the unused heat from the process, the final energy consumption is significantly reduced, resulting in substantial cost savings in hot air production.
Delivery hot air with high reliability
Thanks to its optimised system, Heatlift HA produces high-quality hot air with a maximised COP and reduced CAPEX. The integration, by avoiding intermediary steam or superheated water loop and reduced refrigerant-to-air heat exchangers, achieving the desired hot air quality up to 145°C.
Tailored solutions for customers
We also assist our customers with opportunity studies to evaluate waste heat potential and explore possible process optimizations for heat pump systems. Additionally, Heatlift provides preliminary studies to assess the feasibility and estimate the costs of these complete systems before implementing the solution on-site.
