Low-Pressure Steam Heat Pumps

High-Efficiency Steam Generation for Industrial Decarbonization.

Introduction to Industrial Heat Pumps:

Rockshell Corp’s Industrial heat pumps are cutting-edge technologies designed to provide efficient heating and cooling solutions for a wide range of industrial processes. These systems are highly energy-efficient and can significantly reduce both energy consumption and carbon emissions in industrial applications. They can produce temperatures as high as 130 °C with a good COP, making the heat pumps suitable for direct use in district heating networks and other high-temperature applications.

Electrify Steam. Decarbonize Heat. Lower Costs.

Low Pressure Steam Heat Pumps offer a ground-breaking solution for producing steam sustainably—by using electricity and low-grade heat instead of burning fossil fuels. These systems are ideal for industries seeking to reduce CO₂ emissions, cut energy costs, and modernize steam generation for the low-carbon future.

Key Benefits

Electrified Steam Production Replaces or supplements fossil-fuel boilers with efficient, low-carbon steam generation.
Use of Waste Heat Recovers heat from industrial exhausts, cooling processes, or other waste streams to reduce input energy needs.
Reduced Fuel Costs Lower operating costs compared to gas or oil-fired boilers—especially in regions with low electricity prices or renewable energy access.
Lower Carbon Emissions Supports net-zero carbon initiatives and helps meet environmental compliance goals.
Compact & Retrofit-Ready Modular design suitable for new installations or integration with existing steam networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the industrial applications of low-pressure steam heat pumps?

Low-pressure steam heat pumps are ideal for food & beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, textile & paper mills, biotech & chemical industries, district energy systems, and breweries & distilleries.

What are the key system features?

They can deliver steam output pressure up to 3.5 bar and operate in the 150–160 °C temperature range. They use heat sources such as wastewater, exhaust air, condensate return, and geothermal or ambient sources.

Why are low-pressure steam heat pumps important for industry?

Decarbonizing industrial heat is a major climate challenge. Low-pressure steam heat pumps can deliver 2–4 times more heat energy than the electricity they consume (COP 2–4).

How can I get started with low-pressure steam heat pump adoption?

Our team can assess your facility’s steam needs and design a tailored low-pressure steam heat pump solution, complete with pumps, buffer vessels, sensors, piping, and accessories.
