Skyven Technologies Launches State-of-the-Art Industrial Heat Pump
Skyven Technologies, a pioneer in emissions-free industrial steam solutions, has officially inaugurated its demonstration center for the Arcturus steam-generating heat pump (SGHP) in Dallas, Texas. This innovative facility is setting a new benchmark for efficiency, utilizing technology that is reported to be eight times more effective than traditional steam boilers.
The Arcturus SGHP delivers a remarkable 1 megawatt of thermal energy in the form of boiler-quality steam, with a coefficient of performance (COP) of 6.5, which Skyven aims to enhance beyond 8.0. This potential leap in efficiency not only optimizes energy consumption but also promises significant reductions in operational costs and emissions, making it a groundbreaking solution for decarbonizing industrial heating in an economically sustainable manner.
"We are proud to present the most efficient steam production technology ever built, featuring genuine integration with facilities and smart grid capabilities that positions Arcturus in a class of its own compared to other steam generation systems," said Arun Gupta, CEO and Founder of Skyven Technologies. The Arcturus range offers steam production capacities from 1 MWth to an impressive 60 MWth, catering to diverse industrial needs across sectors like food and beverage, chemical processing, ethanol production, and more.
Key Features of the Arcturus Heat Pump
1.
Unmatched Efficiency: The Arcturus SGHP achieves a COP of 6.5, eight times that of natural gas boilers and six times that of electric boilers and thermal energy storage systems.
2.
Continuous Steam Production: The system generates 1 MWth of continuous, emissions-free steam through the effective capture of waste heat.
3.
Proprietary Flash Technology: The pump includes a patented multi-stage flash tank that maximizes waste heat recovery, resulting in high COP and reduced steam costs.
4.
Live Steam Delivery: The system operates efficiently, providing high-quality steam at the industrial pressures and temperatures required.
5.
Intelligent Controls: The advanced control systems intelligently manage network loads, turning off during peak demand times while also allowing real-time energy arbitration between electricity and natural gas to further minimize costs and emissions.
6.
Rapid Deployment with Modular Design: The software-accelerated design of Arcturus facilitates quick deployment and easy integration into existing industrial setups.
Jacob Miller, Skyven’s Chief Technology Officer, emphasized that the advanced control system is crafted to ensure seamless integration and user-friendly operation in various industrial environments. "We designed Arcturus to maximize functionality, reliability, and replicability in energy-intensive industrial settings across the globe," he added.
Skyven Technologies is committed to helping energy-intensive industries lower their costs and emissions by harnessing lost heat to produce emissions-free steam through its Arcturus heat pump. The proven Energy-as-a-Service model from Skyven enables manufacturers to generate industrial steam without emissions at minimal capital expense.
