August 2025 marks a major milestone in HVAC innovation as Daikin unveils a powerful new high-temperature water-cooled heat pump, designed specifically for industrial processes and district heating networks. This new generation of heat pump brings together efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability—meeting the complex heating demands of large-scale operations
Key Features
- High Water Temperature
Capable of delivering hot water at temperatures up to 90 °C, suitable for demanding industrial applications and centralized heating grids. - Wide Capacity Range
Available in models with output between 400 kW and 1,900 kW, making it scalable for both medium and large facilities. - Smart Compressor Technology
Utilizes single-screw compressors with Variable Volume Ratio (VVR). This technology automatically adjusts the compression process for optimal efficiency, based on real-time operating conditions. - Sustainable Refrigerant
Uses a low-GWP refrigerant (R-1234ze) with a global warming potential of just 1.4, helping organizations meet strict environmental standards.
Flexible Installation
Features a remote-mountable electrical panel (up to 5 meters away), allowing for easier integration into tight or existing mechanical rooms
Why This Heat Pump Matters
🌡️ Supports Industrial Decarbonization
As industries seek to reduce carbon emissions, high-temperature heat pumps offer a clean alternative to traditional fossil-fuel boilers. This system delivers the performance needed for tasks like sterilization, drying, and process heat—without direct emissions.
Enables Cleaner District Heating
The unit’s ability to produce high-temperature water makes it ideal for district heating systems, especially those looking to modernize or expand using low-carbon technology.
Ideal for Retrofits and New Builds
Compact sizing and flexible electrical panel design simplify installation, even in space-constrained environments—reducing downtime and retrofitting costs.
Aligned With Climate Goals
By combining high efficiency with low environmental impact, this heat pump helps facilities align with global sustainability goals, carbon neutrality targets, and upcoming regulations.
Summary
Daikin’s high-temperature heat pump is a breakthrough solution for industrial and municipal heating. Its combination of performance, sustainability, and adaptability positions it as a future-ready system for companies looking to improve both energy efficiency and environmental compliance.
