A Powerful Breakthrough
Arcturus: Decarbonize Industrial Steam
The Skyven Arcturus line of industrial steam-generating heat pumps captures low temperature heat rejected from industrial processes, increases the temperature of that heat (as high as 420°F), and uses it to generate steam at the same temperature, pressure, and quality of existing boilers. Existing boilers remain in place as backup to provide system redundancy.
By decreasing, or even eliminating, the workload of existing boilers, Skyven Arcturus reduces your natural gas usage, significantly lowering on-site CO2 emissions from industrial steam.
No other technology can do the same.

| Refrigerant | HFC/HFO | Water |
Arcturus Coefficient of Performance (COP)
Skyven Arcturus achieves a higher COP and a higher temperature lift than any other heat pump on the market.
COP is an expression of efficiency and varies as a function of heat source temperature, steam output pressure, and temperature lift. Arcturus achieves COPs ranging from 2.1 to more than 8.0 depending on temperature lift.
The chart below shows Arcturus COP’s at various heat source temperatures with common steam output pressures and temperatures.
Industrial heat pumps have the opportunity to improve efficiency and dramatically cut emissions from industrial thermal processes.
