Turboden Discusses Expanding Role in Industrial Heat Pumps and Decarbonization at Michelangelo's Session

Turboden, an Italian company founded in the 1980s and currently part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group, specializes in producing power plants and organic ranking cycle technology for waste heat recovery systems. The company has expanded its portfolio to include high-temperature industrial heat pumps designed for larger-scale applications compared to conventional models. These high-capacity heat pumps can deliver thermal power ranging from three megawatts up to fifty megawatts per single frame and operate within a temperature range of 95°C to 250°C. The primary applications of these industrial heat pumps include district heating networks, various industrial sectors (such as pulp and paper manufacturing or petrochemical refineries), and carbon capture systems. Notably, Turboden's technology enhances efficiency in capturing carbon dioxide by increasing sequestration capacity through specialized steam compressors. Turboden utilizes modern HFO fluids like 1,2,3-TFE (1234ze) alongside natural refrigerants such as hydrocarbons due to their extensive experience with these materials. One notable project is their six-megawatt installation in Brescia, Italy; it efficiently converts waste water from steel production into useful hot water for district heating networks—demonstrating both environmental benefits and economic potential by repurposing otherwise wasted energy sources.
