For its manufacturing site in Guimarães, a major player in the automotive industry needed a highly efficient and precise thermal solution to support its production process. Specifically, the process required heating a product to 40 °C and maintaining that temperature consistently, as any drop could lead to solidification and production downtime.
Redge was consulted early in the process thanks to an existing relationship with the client. Our engineering team proposed a tailored system built around the new ELEVATE series of propane (R290) heat pumps – the most sustainable, future-proof solution in our portfolio.
The Right Solution for Process Heating
Two ELEVATE units were installed to meet the thermal load with high efficiency and ultra-low environmental impact. As a natural refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), R290 is an ideal choice for industrial clients looking to reduce emissions without compromising on reliability.
Thanks to its scroll compressor, inverter technology, and modular control logic, the ELEVATE system offers stable output at low temperatures – a critical requirement for process stability at the plant. Moreover, ELEVATE’s integrated hydraulic module enabled a compact installation with reduced system complexity and maintenance.
