Our Mission
Decarbonisation of the industries is a crucial milestone in the path to slow down global warming. Industrial heat pumps and in particular steam generating heat pumps are key technologies to achieve a sustainability future.
The actors
These companies and research groups
are working in the domain of industrial
heat pump and stream-generating heat pump
Spilling steam compressors are used everywhere where steam with a higher pressure is to be generated from existing steam using low pressure steam, especially when
-
excess low pressure steam is recovered and is to be converted into useable high pressure steam
-
high pressure steam is to be compressed to a higher pressure level without installing an additional boiler unit
Two different compressor series are available, which differ in stroke and nominal speed. Flow rate is controlled by the variable speed drive to handle a wider range of operations.
The good adaptability of the Spilling steam compressor to the most varied steam specifications and its good controllability make it an interesting alternative for many industrial companies to purchasing an additional steam generator.
The drive concepts for the Spilling steam compressor include
-
three-phase asynchronous motors with frequency converter for good control and smooth start-up
-
integrated steam engine drive for plants with several steam networks with different pressure stages

EPCON supplies process plants for separating different types of fluids or fluids from solid material, based on the principles of evaporation and distillation. Separation and purification are important elements in many industrial processes. EPCON has developed unique technical solutions for a number of separation processes.
Research at the Laboratory for Applied Mechanical Design (LAMD) is focused on the design and experimental investigation of small scale turbomachinery for decentralized energy conversion. Typical applications range from small scale gas turbines, compressors for domestic heat pumps to high speed expanders for waste heat recovery using Organic Rankine Cycles. Particular emphasis is given to the domestic and the transportation sector.
​
Scaling laws for turbomachinery dictate increasingly small tip diameters and rising rotational speeds while lowering conversion powers. Hence, key research activities include thorough theoretical and experimental study of high-speed bearing technologies and their effect on dynamic rotor behavior. A particular emphasis is put on dynamic, gas lubricated bearing technologies. Furthermore the laboratory specializes in integrated mechanical design and optimization methodologies.
​
The LAMD seeks strong ties with industry as well as with other academic institutions connecting its research with “real world” problems through collaborative projects. From an educational perspective, links to the industrial world enable a vivid exchange of knowledge and ideas, and give the students an opportunity to work directly for outside sponsors.
