Heatlift

Heatlift designs high-temperature industrial heat pumps capable of replacing gas boilers in heat-intensive processes. They upgrade low-temperature sources from 30°C to 80°C into steam, hot air or superheated water at up to 200°C. With thermal outputs between 3 and 15 MWth, these compact plug-and-play systems are built for straightforward integration into complex industrial sites. Founded by ten former Enertime experts, Heatlift combines turbomachinery expertise, thermal innovation and climate ambition to help the chemical, paper, food and materials industries decarbonise effectively.

Heatlift industrial heat pumps

Heatlift’s high-temperature heat-pump architecture combines a proprietary centrifugal compressor, optimised heat exchangers and a compact performance-led design. Where conventional systems are limited to lower temperatures, Heatlift can deliver heat at up to 200°C for demanding applications such as steam, hot air and superheated-water production.

The technology captures residual heat between 30°C and 80°C from vapours, cooling circuits and other industrial processes. Reusing this low-grade energy can materially reduce natural-gas consumption while improving the site’s overall energy efficiency.

The systems are designed for high coefficients of performance and adaptation to industrial constraints. A range of 3 to 15 MWth covers medium and large industrial sites across chemicals, food processing, paper and materials.

A plug-and-play modular design simplifies engineering, reduces commissioning time and optimises project cost. In-house turbomachinery is a key performance advantage, extending the capabilities of industrial heat pumps while providing the mechanical robustness required in demanding environments.

Heatlift’s founding team brings deep experience in thermodynamic cycles, rotating machinery and complex energy systems to the challenge of industrial decarbonisation.
