Star Refrigeration launches survey to accelerate industry progress toward Net Zero with advanced heat pump technology

Published

on

The company urges industrial sectors to participate in Heat Pump Research to help establish a benchmark for designing cost-effective, pre-engineered industrial heat pumps to meet the needs of the industrial sector.

LONDON, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Star Refrigeration is leading a research initiative aimed at advancing developments in sustainable heating technology. Through the launch of a comprehensive survey, the company seeks to gather critical data from diverse industries to unveil insights into sector-specific heat pump requirements.

“Short, concise and easy to complete, the Heat Pump Survey gathers valuable data on businesses’ day to day operational practices.”

The project will collate information about the operational needs of various industries and businesses within the same sector. This data will serve to inform the design of efficient, data-driven and customer-led heat pump technologies that are easily adaptable across a multitude of applications and scenarios, laying the ground for the development of next-generation heat pump solutions.

Sean Hurley, Senior Sales Manager at Star Refrigeration, said: “Star’s strength has always lain in its ability to deliver highly customised cooling and heating solutions that seamlessly integrate with specialised processes to achieve optimum energy efficiency.”
“This research project aligns with our commitment to guiding industries toward Net Zero. The findings will enable us to identify the subtle variations in operational processes across industries and businesses to fine-tune heat pump design and improve the efficiency of industrial heating processes.”

To achieve a comprehensive understanding of each industry’s needs and challenges, the company is calling on businesses from industries in the brewing, food & drink, pharma, meat processing, chemicals, paper, bakery, and distilling sectors to contribute their insights by taking part in the research survey and help shape the future of industrial renewable heating technologies.

Short, concise and easy to complete, the Heat Pump Survey gathers valuable data on businesses’ day to day operational practices. The information will allow Star’s design team to identify design opportunities with a focus on reducing both capital and operational costs through the development of heat pump packages tailored to each specific sector and business application.

Heat pumps are proving to be a game-changing solution in various industrial settings. By capturing and reusing waste energy, industries that have traditionally relied on gas for their heating needs now have a viable alternative in heat pumps that deliver energy and carbon savings. While gas boilers run at efficiencies between 40% and 85%, heat pumps deliver far greater performance with efficiencies of 300-700%.

Heat pumps that are well integrated into a facility’s processes can deliver high efficiencies, with pharmaceutical facilities for example potentially able to achieve efficiencies of up to 800%. Poultry processing facilities using heat pumps for hot water and space heating have the potential to achieve energy and cost savings of up to 60%. In the paper industry, heat pumps can supply up to 50% of the energy required for drying processes, which typically account for 70% of the industry’s energy consumption.

These benefits extend to a wide range of industries, including chemical, dairy, food and drink, brewing, and distilling. Delivering precise temperature control, heat pumps can also enhance product quality in distillation processes, improving the flavour of spirits, in bakeries’ pre-proofing and fermentation processes, where consistency is critical, or in the chemical sector’s distillation and crystallisation for separation efficiency.

Sean Hurley said, “Achieving Net Zero requires businesses to make informed decisions about the technology they use. Participating in our survey provides businesses with an opportunity to shape the future of industry-led, efficient solutions and ensure the industry remains ahead of the curve.”

Star’s survey insights will also help the company identify heat pump packages eligible for government incentives and funding, making it easier and more affordable for businesses to transition to energy-efficient heat pump systems.

Participants in the survey will receive a copy of the report on industry-specific findings and be entered into a draw to win a £250 voucher.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI) is proud to announce the launch of the GUSI Fellowships Platform, an innovative online platform designed to empower learners around the world to achieve confidence and competency in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). With a holistic, device-independent approach that includes comprehensive evidence-based education, personalized mentorship from world-class POCUS educators, detailed scan review feedback, quantitative assessments, and CME certification, GUSI is setting a new standard in POCUS education.

“GUSI’s online didactics are the best that I have seen. And what I like most about the fellowship were the 1:1 sessions and being able to interact with GUSI expert faculty who have many years of experience in POCUS. And you get to pick their brains and they get to instruct you 1:1. I have used the training I received from GUSI to do much more POCUS clinically and further impact my patients lives.”

Dr. James Wilcox,
Assistant POCUS Director, Indiana University School of Medicine
Adjunct Professor and Assistant Professor of Medicine

“Our mission at GUSI is to democratize access to high-quality ultrasound training,” said Dr. Kevin Bergman and Dr. Mena Ramos, Co-CEOs of Global Ultrasound Institute. “The GUSI Fellowships Platform enables learners from diverse backgrounds to enhance their skills in a supportive, flexible environment, making it easier than ever to reach their POCUS goals.”

With training options covering 38 different scan types, learners can expect personalized 1:1 mentorship with expert POCUS educators who provide timely feedback on practice scans.

“The GUSI fellowship mentors are the best: patient, kind, knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive. GUSI provided education in the areas I wanted and needed to obtain and in my home/office environment not requiring multiple trips around the country. It is not just the way course work is presented – learning is made easier by the support provided to each student.”

Dr. Glenda Patterson
Core Faculty, University of Arkansas Northwest Internal Medicine Residency
