GIG Karasek offers a powerful process to harness the massive potential of surplus thermal energy. Our highly advanced CompriVAP industrial heat pump system recovers and reuses vapor – this is the best and still most commonly used medium for conveying heat in industrial processes.
Functional principle
The CompriVAP system is an industrial heat pump solution that is based on well-established MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) technology and is particularly well- suited for low-temperature waste heat streams. Process steam is drawn in by an electrically operated compressor and raised directly to a higher energy level by increasing the pressure. Heat sources might be warm liquid streams or vapor, which are often not useful as such but still contain a significant amount of energy.
The type of application, the properties of the heat source and the required parameters of output steam define the specific setup of the system. It might consist of just one machine or several compressors. When using waste liquid as a heat source, a flashing stage is needed.
ADVANTAGES:
- Reusing liquid and gaseous waste heat results in a reduction of primary energy demand and subsequently also reduces CO2 emissions
- Resources are used economically - less fresh steam and cooling water is needed
- High potential for OPEX savings is a given
- (Retrofit) installation is straightforward and fast
- Mature technology, already available for use on large industrial scale
Team up for industrial waste heat utilization and to achieve decarbonization goals such as the European Green Deal.
Potential waste heat sources
-
Reuse of liquid waste streams like waste water, process condensate, etc. with vacuum flashing
-
Utilization of gaseous waste media like exhaust air/gas, process gas, etc.

Commissioning and startup support
The product is distributed continuously over the entire circumference of the heating wall. Using special wiper elements the wall contact is renewed constantly and the product stream simultaneously transported. The blades do not touch the heating jacket, but prevented crusting or clogging of the heating surface by massively built, arranged with defined gap wiper elements.
