What Is a Reversible Heat Pump (RHP)
A Reversible Heat Pump (RHP) is an advanced thermal system that can both heat and cool using a single integrated unit. Instead of installing separate boilers for heating and chillers for cooling, an RHP intelligently switches between the two modes based on industrial process requirements.
It extracts heat from one source and transfers it to another, allowing the same machine to deliver hot water up to 50°C and above & chilled water as low as 2°C and below.
By combining two essential utilities into one high-efficiency solution, reversible heat pumps significantly reduce energy consumption, operational complexity, and maintenance costs—making them one of the most flexible and sustainable thermal technologies for modern industry.
Product Overview:
What Are Trigen DC’s Reversible Heat Pumps?
Reversible Heat Pumps (RHP) from Trigen DC are advanced dual-function thermal systems that seamlessly switch between heating and cooling modes depending on process requirements. This integrated system eliminates the need for separate boilers, chillers, or electric heaters—reducing both operational complexity and energy consumption.
These systems are intelligently engineered using high-efficiency screw compressors, advanced thermal/electronic expansion valves, PLC-based controls, and resilient metallurgy to ensure maximum durability even in demanding environments.
Trigen DC’s Reversible Heat Pumps are ideal for industries that require seasonal, daily, or even hour-to-hour switching between heating and cooling—making them one of the most cost-efficient and flexible thermal utilities available today.
Built on years of thermal engineering innovation, Trigen DC’s RHP portfolio offers:
- Heating capacities up to 737 kW and above
- Cooling capacities up to 545 kW and above
- Hot water generation up to 60°C and above
- Chilled water output as low as 2°C and below
- High heating COP up to 4.0*
- High cooling COP up to 3.0*
- Fully optimized for 24×7 industrial duty
Key Advantages of Trigen DC’s Reversible Heat Pumps
RHPs consolidate two critical utilities into a single integrated system. Industries no longer need separate heating and cooling equipment, reducing capex, floor space, and maintenance effort.
With heating COP values reaching up to 4.0 and cooling COP values up to 3.0, these systems significantly reduce energy cost when compared to electrical heaters, boilers, and traditional chillers.
By replacing multiple systems and optimizing running costs, Trigen DC’s reversible heat pumps deliver higher ROI and faster payback—often within 18–30 months, depending on load profile.
PLC-based control systems with HMI interfaces ensure:
- Real-time performance visibility.
- Smart modulation for energy optimization.
- Predictive failure analysis.
- Intelligent heating–cooling switching logic.
This makes the RHP system highly efficient and maintenance-friendly.
Trigen DC’s reversible heat pumps rely solely on electricity - resulting in:
- Zero on-site emissions.
- Reduced carbon footprint.
- Cleaner, safer industrial workspace.
This aligns industries with global decarbonization goals.
Every industry’s heating and cooling requirements differ. RHP systems can be tailored for:
- Flow rates.
- Temperature levels.
- Buffer tank integration.
- Multi-zone distribution networks.
- Process-specific controls.
Systems from 5 kW up to 2 MW can be delivered based on industrial demand.
Designed for ambient temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C, these heat pumps are ideal for varied climates and heavy-duty operation.
No burners, no chimneys, no combustion residue, no soot buildup - heat pumps eliminate many of the typical maintenance headaches associated with boilers.
