Company Description

Vast amounts of heating energy are required across all industrial sectors to melt, dry, sterilize or otherwise process materials and products. Airthium disrupts the high-temperature heat pump market by the unique features of its product, enabled by a breakthrough in the underlying thermodynamics. The result is a new, highly reliable, robust, efficient and low cost very high-temperature heat pump. We build heat engines that allow the industry and the electrical grid to stop polluting at scale in a cost-effective way.
