Development of Futraheat’s novel Greamsteam high temperature heat pump pre-production product

Futraheat基于其新颖的TurboClaw压缩机技术，正在开发一种用于工业热脱碳的高温热泵产品。重新定义的涡轮压缩机；TurboClaw的低速运行带来了工程、制造和运营成本效益，有望为工业提供最具成本效益的高温热泵解决方案。到目前为止，Futraheat已经开发了一个300kWt的原型演示器，以验证TurboClaw作为高温热泵压缩机的新应用。该演示器成功地应用了单级（压缩）TurboClaw压缩机，提供超过沸点30℃的温度提升，但尚未设计用于生产，并采用传统的带油轴承，只有无油解决方案才能将TurboClaw的优势充分发挥给最终用户。该项目将采用两级TurboClaw设计，将温度提升至60摄氏度，开辟了潜在市场；结合磁性轴承无油解决方案；并通过调查和开发最佳的生产方法和流程来实现解决方案的生产，以支持降低成本和扩大规模。该项目的主要产出将是预生产，最小可行产品（MVP），准备在工业中进行试点和随后的销售生产。

Futraheat is developing a high temperature heat pump product for industrial heat decarbonisation based upon its novel TurboClaw compressor technology. A turbo-compressor re-defined; TurboClaw's low-speed operation yields engineering, manufacturing and operational cost benefits which promise to deliver the most cost-effective high temperature heat pump solutions to industry.To date, Futraheat has developed a 300kWt prototype-demonstrator to validate the novel application of TurboClaw as a high temperature heat pump compressor. The demonstrator successfully applies a single-stage (of compression) TurboClaw compressor to deliver a 30C temperature lift over the boiling point, but has not been designed for production and adopts conventional oiled bearings where only an oil-free solution will deliver TurboClaw's advantages in full to end users.This project will extend temperature lift to 60C with a two-stage TurboClaw design, opening up the addressable market; incorporate magnetic bearings for an oil-free solution; and productionise the solution through investigating and developing the optimal production methodology and processes to support cost-down and scaling ambitions.The project's key output will be a pre-production, minimum viable product (MVP), ready for piloting in industry and subsequent sales production.
