Residential and commercial heating

For comfort and efficiency

Approximately half of the world’s energy consumption is used for heating and cooling – far more than for electricity or transport. Globally, heating and cooling is also responsible for a significant amount of energy-related CO2 emissions. Optimized with SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers, heat pumps, are poised to revolutionize this sector, and are rapidly becoming a cornerstone technology in the global transition to sustainable heating and cooling.

SWEP - for sustainable heating and cooling

Optimized with SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers, modern heat pump technology can significantly boost efficiency in both heating and cooling, while supporting the path to decarbonization.

CLEAN ENERGY

Why heat pumps?

Reversible heat pumps extract and upgrade ambient energy, including heat or cold from outdoor air or water, and geothermal energy – heat or cold from soil or groundwater. In addition to providing heat in the winter, many heat pumps can also provide cooling during the summer months. They offer environmentally friendly heating and cooling for a range of applications.

How does a heat pump work

How do they work?

The main components of a heat pump are a compressor, and two heat exchangers—one positioned as a condenser, and one positioned as an evaporator. While the compressor moves refrigerant through a thermodynamic cycle (compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation), the heat exchangers extract and transfer heat from a heat source to a heat sink.

A broad range of BHPEs

Compact, reliable, and highly efficient, brazed plate heat exchangers from SWEP are the ideal components for the hydronic side of air-to-water heat pumps, as well as for water-source and geothermal heat pumps.

They offer:

  • Compactness
  • Increased efficiency
  • Gasket-free reliability
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Low installation cost
