Zusammenfassung vom Kontext und den Gesamtzielen des Projekts

Our project and product is the ThermaSphera Heat Amplifier, a high-capacity heat pump system that can produce temperatures more than twice what any competitor can use. This allows it to replace fossil fuel boilers which are regulated to ~116°C, and to perform heavy-duty work like preheating shot for plastic moulding, preheating moulds, pasteurisation, dehumidification, district heating, evaporation, distillation, drying, and providing heat for chemical reactions. It is a renewable resource that can also convert waste heat from an existing system to generate even more power.

The objectives we achieved during the project were securing a pilot site, establishing costs for a pilot unit, detailed financial projections, a regulatory strategy, an IP management strategy, marketing strategy, communication and dissemination strategies, and a decision to move forward with commercialising our product.

In conclusion, we have decided to move forward with an SME instrument Phase 2 application.

Arbeit, die ab Beginn des Projekts bis zum Ende des durch den Bericht erfassten Berichtszeitraums geleistet wurde, und die wichtigsten bis dahin erzielten Ergebnisse

We re-evaluated our product and business model, making a pivot from electrical energy storage to utilising our heat pump and heat battery to function as a powerful heat engine capable of generating working temperatures up to 240°C. We obtained service provider estimates for constructing a pilot site and secured a school in Ireland as a pilot site.

Fortschritte, die über den aktuellen Stand der Technik hinausgehen und voraussichtliche potenzielle Auswirkungen (einschließlich der bis dato erzielten sozioökonomischen Auswirkungen und weiter gefassten gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen des Projekts)

The state of the art in heat pumps simply cannot exceed 100°C, limiting it to 25% or less of industrial heat demand applications. We can exceed ranges of 240°C to access the 100-400°C demand range, replacing boilers and furnaces in certain applications. We do this as a renewable resource, with only one component of the system - the heat battery - not being recyclable.
