Chile is currently at the forefront of the global energy transition. With the national commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, industries from the Atacama Desert to the glacial fjords of Patagonia are seeking efficient ways to electrify heat. High-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) have emerged as a critical technology to replace traditional diesel and gas boilers in the Chilean industrial sector.
In the Mining Industry, specifically in copper and lithium extraction processes in Northern Chile, high-temperature water is essential for solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) processes. Our 90°C heat pump solutions provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel combustion, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of "Green Copper" production.
Furthermore, the Food and Beverage sector in Chile's central valley—including world-renowned wineries and fruit processing plants—requires precise thermal control for pasteurization and sterilization. Our high-efficiency systems ensure that these processes meet international quality standards while optimizing operational costs.
Chile's unique geography presents diverse challenges for thermal engineering. In the Southern Regions (Los Lagos, Aysén), where salmon farming and wood processing dominate, our heat pumps are designed with EVI (Enhanced Vapor Injection) technology to maintain high performance even in sub-zero ambient temperatures.
District Heating in Santiago: As the capital moves toward cleaner air initiatives, large-scale residential and commercial buildings are adopting central heating high-temperature heat pumps. These systems provide both space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) at 80°C, making them perfect retrofits for older radiator-based systems without requiring expensive piping upgrades.
Our partnership with Chilean exporters ensures that every unit is compliant with local SEC (Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles) regulations and optimized for the local 50Hz power grid.
