Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems) has launched onto the Japanese market a centrifugal heat pump capable of supplying hot water at temperatures up to 90 C.
The ETI-W heat pump, with a maximum capacity of 640 kW, uses heat from factory production processes as a heat source to supply the hot water.
The system is equipped with centrifugal compressors that are developed from the company’s centrifugal chillers. It also hosts an inverter start panel within its main unit and a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, similarly to the company’s range of ETI-7 chillers.
The heat pump achieves a coefficient of performance (COP) of 4.01 when delivering hot water up to its maximum temperature. It operates using non-fluorocarbon refrigerant HFO-1233zd(E) with a global warming potential of 1, which MHI Thermal Systems says helps to achieve both high efficiency and environmental performance.
The ETI-W is targeted towards a wide range of applications, including processes in electronics, automotive, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical factories, as well as heating and hot water supply in commercial facilities and accommodations.
“With the launch of this product, our lineup of industrial and commercial heat pump utilities, which includes heat recovery heat pumps and commercial heat pumps, will be further expanded across a wide range of hot water supply coverages and capacities, contributing to energy savings for our customers,” a statement from the company adds.
In July, MHI Thermal Systems announced it had begun testing aquifer thermal energy storage, a form of underground thermal energy storage technology capable of storing intermittent wind and solar power for seasonal thermal storage.

Hi
*We are GPS Renewables Pvt. Ltd. (GPSR), India’s leading full-stack biofuels firm. Founded in 2012 by first-generation entrepreneurs from top institutions like IIMB, NITs, and IITs, our mission was to develop waste-to-energy solutions to address India’s waste management challenges.
Within a decade, we’ve become pioneers in the biofuel industry. Our flagship product, Bio Urja, is India’s top IOT biogas plant with five patents. We’ve also expanded into Bio CNG, completing the design and EPC of South Asia’s largest plant in 11 months. With a team of more than 300, including strong R&D, we’re venturing into green hydrogen and 2G ethanol with strong financial backing, including a Series B investment from Neev of SBI. We have commissioned the world’s fastest bio CBG plant in UP this year and are geared to put up another 20 more plants, which are in various stages of execution. Our subsidiary firm, Prowers Envirotec, is Europe’s leading biofuel engineering consulting firm, and we have a joint venture with IOCL for BioCNG plants in India.
With a strong pipeline of 100 million USD, we are leading the biofuel segment in India.*
