Trane unveils XStream high temperature water source heat pump for industrial decarbonisation

Built on Trane’s proven XStream platform, the RTWF HT delivers hot water temperatures up to 105°C and heating capacities up to 1,500 kW.

The RTWF HT follows the successful commercialisation of the City RTSF HT, and is tailored for medium to high temperature applications, providing industries a path to transition away from fossil fuel-based systems to more efficient and sustainable operations. This latest addition further expands the company’s thermal systems portfolio, offering scalable production of advanced and standardised solutions with continuously increasing temperature ranges and unit capacities for decarbonising process and building heating and cooling applications.

"Our customers are increasingly seeking reliable, efficient alternatives to fossil-fuel based heat sources as they pursue their decarbonisation targets, supported by strong regulatory momentum," said Erik Van Oossanen, product management leader at Trane. "Waste heat recovery is gaining traction, but the integration of thermal management systems that combine heating and cooling, remains a big opportunity to improve the return on investment of decarbonisation. Trane solutions enable business owners to maximise energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. With the introduction of RTWF HT, Trane is poised to accelerate the deployment of heat pump technology into the industrial sector, ranging a wide array of applications from food manufacturing to district heating." 

Ready for high-impact industrial decarbonisation

The Trane RTWF HT expanded capacity heat pump technology delivers hot water supply up to 105°C and heating capacities above 1.5 MW per unit. Featuring an A1-classified refrigerant, R1233zd(E), with almost zero Global Warming Potential (GWP), the proven Trane screw compressor, and Symbio 800 controller, RTWF HT combines high efficiency, safety, and robust performance. Six standard models are available to meet a wide range of industrial hot water applications.

Transitioning to heat pump technology enables customers to achieve significant operational cost savings, improve energy efficiency, and reduce their carbon footprint. With a 5.0 coefficient of performance (COP) level, the Trane RTWF HT is an ideal solution to decarbonise industrial processes that have traditionally relied on energy-intensive fossil fuel boilers. By offering a viable alternative to these carbon intensive systems, Trane RTWF HT helps companies reduce their scope 1 and 2 emissions, in line with company sustainability targets and EU industrial decarbonisation policies. 

Ideal applications

Trane’s XStream RTWF HT sets new benchmarks for:

• District heating and other utility or energy company heating schemes
• Decarbonised industrial process heating in food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and more
• Heat recovery from chiller and refrigeration plants
• Booster heat pumps for cascade thermal systems

Trane’s RTWF HT stands out through its use of standardised, fully validated and proven Trane technology, including proprietary screw compressors and Symbio 800 controls. Manufactured at Trane’s high-quality European factory with state-of-the art testing facilities, the units are supported by the industry’s widest sales and service network in Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and Australia and New Zealand. More than 1,000 highly skilled technicians can ensure rapid deployment and ongoing service throughout the lifecycle of every project.
