Heat pumps and efficient power semiconductors: Driving the low-carbon future
Heat pumps provide secure and sustainable heating using low-emissions electricity and are central to the global transition to sustainable heating. While primarily used for heating, reverse cycle heat pumps also offer cooling and have significant potential for energy conservation by recovering waste heat.
As businesses move towards a low-carbon future, there is a rising demand for efficient power semiconductors. Minimizing system cost and footprint while enhancing efficiency is crucial. Intelligent power modules (IPMs) are gaining attention in the heat pump market for their high power density and advanced control capabilities, making them ideal for heat pumps.
How heat pumps work
Heat pumps can deliver heating, cooling, and dehumidification needs and are a proven and sustainable solution for heating powered by electricity. They are an environmentally friendly option for your home and office, helping us move away from fossil fuels to more renewable energy technologies. With global concerns about energy security and climate commitments, heat pumps are emerging as the primary tool for decarbonization in space and water heating systems.
