Paul De Larminat showcased the test results of Johnson Controls’ heat pump using water vapour as the working fluid. To plug a specific hole in the market, JCI teamed up with Electricité de France (EDF) to develop high pressure heat pumps for the industrial market (600kW at 90/130°C). De Larminat extolled the many virtues of using water vapour: Its low cost, excellent efficiency at high temperatures and ability to be used in closed and open loops.
