One SPP HighLift Heat Pump Reduces CO2 Emissions...

… comparable to 550 private cars per year

The company, Single-Phase Power, had over a period of ten years developed the Stirling based renewable energy technology known as SPP HighLift heatpump and SPP HeatPower engine. When Olvondo Technology took over the company, the SPP technology was matured with more than 30,000 operational hours from commercial services.

The SPP technology is unique in its ability to provide high temperature lifts, i.e., above 100oC. This means, it can recycle low temperature energy sources to high value process heat. Likewise, the SPP technology delivers steam up at temperatures up to 200oC. 

Nordic Innovators assisted Olvondo Technology in receiving EU funding under the Horizon 2020 Fast Track to Innovation programme. Their Highlift project received EUR 2.4 million and the objective is to develop a next-generation high temperature heat pump (HTHP) based on an innovative 4-cylinder alpha configuration Stirling engine design.

The typical customers of this technology are industrial players within food, aquaculture, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as industries with high steam consumption. The common goal is to reduce emissions by making their energy green.
