High-Efficiency Custom Micro Heat Pump Solution for Small-Scale Industrial Heating and Cooling

High-Efficiency custom micro heat pump solution refers to a compact, application-specific thermal system engineered to deliver both heating and cooling for small-scale industrial equipment, where space constraints, energy efficiency, and precise temperature control are critical.

Unlike conventional industrial heat pumps or electric heaters, a micro heat pump features:

• Miniaturized system architecture
• Customized thermal capacity (typically below 10 kW)
• High Coefficient of Performance (COP)
• Bidirectional heating and cooling capability
• OEM-ready integration design

These systems are not standardized off-the-shelf Products. They are custom-developed based on temperature range, thermal load, footprint constraints, operating environment, and control interface requirements.

Pain Point 1: Excessive Energy Consumption

Traditional electric heaters convert electricity directly into heat, resulting in COP ≈ 1.0. This causes high operating costs and carbon emissions.

Micro heat pumps transfer heat instead of generating it, achieving COP values between 3.0 and 5.0.

Pain Point 2: Limited Installation Space

Compact industrial equipment offers minimal space for thermal systems. Separate heaters and chillers increase complexity.

Custom micro heat pumps integrate heating and cooling into one compact unit, optimized for dense layouts.

Pain Point 3: Poor Temperature Stability

Electric heaters suffer from thermal inertia, overshoot, and uneven heat distribution.

Micro heat pumps enable active heating and cooling, delivering tighter temperature control.

Pain Point 4: Limited Operating Flexibility

Traditional systems are optimized for single conditions and lose efficiency when loads change.

Custom micro heat pumps maintain efficiency across wide operating ranges.

Pain Point 5: High Maintenance Costs

Resistance heaters degrade quickly under continuous load.

Micro heat pumps operate at lower electrical stress, extending service life.

The system operates on an optimized vapor compression cycle, engineered for compact industrial use.

Step 1 – Heat Absorption: Refrigerant absorbs thermal energy from ambient air, process fluid, or waste heat.

Step 2 – Compression: A high-efficiency micro compressor raises pressure and temperature.

Step 3 – Heat Release: Heat is transferred to the target process or thermal loop.

Step 4 – Expansion: Pressure is reduced to restart the cycle.

Step 5 – Intelligent Control: Reversible operation enables seamless heating and cooling with precise regulation.

Application: Precision optical inspection equipment for semiconductor quality control.

• Temperature range: 15°C – 60°C
