GAHPs and Decarbonisation – What Happens When Sites Cannot Electrify?

Following our recent poll, it’s clear there are mixed views on where gas absorption heat pumps (GAHPs) fit within the decarbonisation journey. At the same time, many retrofit projects are facing a challenge that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: limited electrical capacity. Across a growing number of sites, we are seeing projects delayed or stalled due to: • Limited available electrica...

Large-Scale Waste Heat Recovery Project Advances Decarbonisation in Finland

One of the most advanced decarbonisation projects in Europe is now underway in the Helsinki region, where a major data centre development is being designed to serve a dual purpose. Alongside supporting digital infrastructure, the site will act as a large-scale source of low carbon heat. The 75MW facility, developed by Microsoft, is being integrated into a wider energy system through collaboration...

Industrial Heat Pump Solutions Supporting Large-Scale Decarbonisation

Decarbonisation at an industrial level brings a clear challenge. Systems must deliver high output while maintaining the temperatures required for demanding processes. Many standard heat pump solutions struggle to meet these conditions at scale. This is where Oilon and its industrial heat pump range offer a practical alternative. Working through Pure Thermal, these systems are now being applied acr...

Rethinking Chiller Design with Cold Thermal Energy Storage

Oversizing chillers remains a common approach to managing peak cooling demand. In many cases, this method leads to inefficiencies and higher project costs. Systems are often designed around short periods of peak load, even though these conditions may only occur for a few hours each year. This approach can result in higher capital expenditure, larger plant areas, and inefficient performance during...

Pure Thermal Addresses Delta T Challenges in Retrofit Heating Projects

Meeting the demands of existing commercial heating & hot water systems is often one of the biggest challenges in retrofit projects, especially when it comes to Delta T. At present most commercial heat pumps in the main are unable to operate with wider temperature differentials and cannot achieve a 20°C Delta T. This limitation forces engineers to introduce additional hydraulic workarounds such...

Rising Demand for High-Temperature Heat Pumps in Retrofit Projects

A clear shift is taking place across commercial and industrial heating. There is growing demand for single stage, monobloc heat pumps that can deliver high temperatures while working within existing systems. This change is driven by the need to reduce carbon emissions without increasing project costs. Many sites require solutions that fit into current infrastructure, rather than full system replac...

Pure Thermal Addresses the R290 Chiller Gap for Large Capacity Projects

A common issue across the HVAC and process cooling sector is the belief that selecting larger capacity R290 natural refrigerant chillers is difficult. This concern often links to uncertainty around future F-Gas legislation and wider decarbonisation targets. This view has developed due to the historical focus of many chiller manufacturers. Large capacity systems have, for years, centred on syntheti...
