Residential and commercial heat pumps
Heat pumps are reliable, proven technology that is key to creating indoor climates that are as comfortable as they are energy efficient. Not only can heat pumps provide heat, but also hot water – and even cooling, in systems designed to be reversible. SWEP BPHEs are the critical component that make it possible.
Fuel-flexible and energy-smart
Because they are electric, they are as environmentally-friendly as the fuel used to power them—they can run on wind, solar, biomass, or even energy recovered from waste heat from other processes. Heat from a heat pump can be delivered through a building’s forced air system, or it can be used to generate sanitary hot water for domestic use.

HEAT RECOVERY
Ideal for heat recovery
Installed in a basement or a utility room and connected to a water tank, a heat pump makes it possible to utilize the passive waste heat generated by other components in the room, such as a boiler or other appliances, to heat water.
Types of heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps, which transfer heat between indoor and outdoor spaces, are the most common type found in residential settings. They are less efficient than water-source heat pumps, especially in cold climates.
Air-to-water heat pumps take heat from outside air and use it as an energy source to evaporate the refrigerant in a water-based system. The heat generated can then be used for comfort heating or to heat tap water. Air-to-water heat pumps are gaining ground as efficient all-year-round heating systems with low energy cost, reduced carbon footprint, and low maintenance requirements.
Ground sourced heat pumps extract heat from the ground, which remains at a constant temperature of approximately 10 – 16 °C at a depth of about 3 meters. Reliable year-round performance makes geothermal heat pumps ideal for areas with large seasonal temperature differences.
Improved performance now - and for the life of your system
SWEP BPHEs are the critical component that make it possible. Our brazed plate heat exchangers can be optimized for evaporator and condenser duties in high-efficiency residential heat pump systems. Heat pumps can also be combined with other heating systems, in hybrid configurations, making them extremely versatile in a wide range of applications. SWEP BPHEs can improve the performance, stability, and longevity of the heat pump system.
