    Pure Thermal: Leaders in Industrial & Commercial CO₂ Heat Pumps

    With over 15 years of expertise in high-performance heating solutions, Pure Thermal has been at the forefront of industrial and commercial CO₂ heat pump technology. As businesses increasingly look for sustainable and energy-efficient alternatives, CO₂ heat pumps have become a practical and effective solution for delivering high-temperature heating with minimal environmental impact.

    Pure Thermal’s CO₂ heat pumps operate using R744 (CO₂), a natural refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) of just 1. Unlike conventional refrigerants, R744 is non-toxic, non-flammable, and free from ozone-depleting chemicals, making it an environmentally responsible choice for modern heating applications. One of the key benefits of CO₂ heat pumps is their ability to produce high operating temperatures, reaching up to 90°C. This makes them particularly effective for hot water production, industrial processing, and commercial heating systems. Their ability to maintain consistent high-temperature output ensures reliable performance, even in demanding applications.

    What are CO₂ Heat Pumps?

    CO₂ heat pumps are heating and cooling systems that use carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a refrigerant instead of traditional refrigerants such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). They work by compressing and circulating CO₂ gas, which absorbs and releases heat as it goes through different phases of pressure and temperature. CO₂ heat pumps are considered more environmentally friendly than traditional heat pumps because CO₂ is a natural, non-toxic, and non-flammable gas that has a low global warming potential (GWP) and does not contribute to ozone depletion.

    Whilst straightforward to apply design diligence must be exercised with respect to the maximum return temperature to a CO₂ Heat Pump being 35°C. This is a factor of the way in which CO₂ refrigerant can be used in a Heat Pump and must be acknowledged and adhered to.

    A Practical, High-Performance Heating Solution

    CO₂ heat pumps offer a versatile and flexible alternative for businesses seeking low-carbon heating solutions. Their ability to operate at high efficiencies, while remaining compatible with existing infrastructure, makes them an ideal choice for both retrofit projects and new-build installations. Pure Thermal’s expertise in CO₂ heat pump technology ensures that businesses receive tailored, high-efficiency solutions that meet the growing demand for sustainable heating. With a focus on performance, reliability, and environmental responsibility, Pure Thermal’s CO₂ heat pump systems provide a future-proof solution for industrial and commercial heating applications.

    CO₂ Heat Pump Applications

    Pure Thermal’s CO₂ heat pump range is designed to deliver high-temperature heating solutions across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. With the ability to achieve temperatures of up to 90°C, these systems provide efficient and sustainable heating, making them suitable for both retrofit projects and new-build installations. Their natural refrigerant (R744 CO₂) technology ensures compliance with environmental regulations, offering businesses a future-proof alternative to conventional heating systems.

    In applications where sustainability targets must be met, whether due to client requirements, planning regulations, or industry standards, CO₂ heat pumps provide a cost-effective and practical solution. Unlike traditional systems that rely on synthetic refrigerants subject to F-Gas regulations and reporting requirements, CO₂ heat pumps eliminate these restrictions by using a natural refrigerant with a GWP of just 1. By transitioning to CO₂ technology, businesses can ensure long-term regulatory compliance, reduced carbon emissions, and improved energy efficiency.

    Why You Should Choose CO₂ Heat Pumps

    CO₂ heat pumps provide a sustainable and energy-efficient alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems, making them an ideal choice for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint while improving efficiency. Unlike conventional heat pumps that use synthetic refrigerants with high global warming potential (GWP), CO₂ heat pumps operate using R744 (CO₂), a natural refrigerant with a GWP of just 1. This means they do not contribute to ozone depletion or long-term environmental damage, making them a future-proof solution for industrial and commercial applications.

    One of the key advantages of CO₂ heat pumps is their high energy efficiency, allowing businesses to achieve lower operational costs while maintaining reliable heating and cooling performance. Compared to traditional HVAC systems, CO₂ heat pumps provide greater thermal efficiency, meaning they require less energy to produce the same amount of heat or cooling output. This translates to reduced carbon emissions and lower energy bills, making them a cost-effective and environmentally responsible investment.

    Another major benefit of CO₂ heat pumps is their versatility. These systems can be used for both heating and cooling, ensuring year-round climate control for a variety of applications, from hot water production to space heating and industrial process heating. Additionally, CO₂ heat pumps operate with lower noise levels and require less maintenance than traditional systems, improving long-term reliability and reducing ongoing service costs.

    For businesses looking for a sustainable, efficient, and low-maintenance heating and cooling solution, CO₂ heat pumps provide a proven alternative to conventional systems. With their environmental benefits, superior efficiency, and long-term cost savings, they represent the next generation of commercial and industrial heating technology.
