150°C Industrial Steam Heat Pumps
LEOMON’s air-source steam heat pump range is designed for industrial processes requiring steam at temperatures up to 150°C, subject to the selected model and operating conditions. These systems use heat pump technology to transfer heat from ambient air to the steam generation process.
Steam heat pumps should be selected according to the required steam flow, operating pressure, feedwater conditions and site environment. They should be evaluated separately from heat pumps designed to supply hot water.
Applications
Potential applications include suitable steam heating processes in food and beverage production, textile processing, drying and other manufacturing operations. Each application requires an assessment of steam temperature, pressure, flow and quality requirements.
Model Selection
Please provide the following information so we can recommend a suitable model:
• Required steam output in kg/h
• Required steam temperature and operating pressure
• Whether the pressure is gauge or absolute
• Feedwater temperature and water quality
• Site location and ambient temperature range
• Available electrical supply
• Daily operating hours and peak steam demand
• Existing boiler specifications, where applicable
Performance and Operating Costs
Heating capacity, steam output and electricity consumption depend on the model and operating conditions. Please refer to the applicable technical datasheet for performance figures and their test conditions.
Potential savings should be assessed using local electricity and fuel prices, the existing boiler’s efficiency and the actual operating schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a steam heat pump and a hot water heat pump?
A steam heat pump supplies steam for suitable process requirements. A hot water heat pump supplies heated liquid water. Selection depends on the heating medium, temperature and pressure required by the process.
Can a steam heat pump replace our existing boiler?
Suitability depends on steam demand, operating pressure, load variation and site conditions. Please send your existing boiler specifications and process requirements for an assessment.
Can every model operate in cold climates?
The allowable ambient temperature range is model-specific. Confirm the selected model’s operating limits before planning installation.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please provide your steam flow, temperature, pressure, site conditions, power supply and operating schedule. An existing boiler nameplate or process specification is also helpful.
