The HitemHP system, manufactured in Holme, Denmark, centers on the Sabroe SMC single-stage reciprocating compressor. This technology allows the units to maintain efficiency even during low-demand periods, operating at capacities as thin as 18 percent. By utilizing natural refrigerants like butane and iso-butane, the hardware preemptively meets tightening European Union environmental regulations while extending maintenance intervals by nearly half compared to traditional setups.

Johnson Controls Targets European Industrial Heat with New Pump Line
Industrial sectors across Europe face a critical bottleneck in decarbonizing high-temperature processes, where fossil fuel reliance remains the standard. Johnson Controls is now addressing this with its new Sabroe HitemHP range, a modular system capable of delivering 122°C output while slashing operational energy costs by over 90 percent.
For energy-intensive sectors like pharmaceuticals and food processing, the transition to high-temperature electrification has historically been hindered by performance trade-offs. Early site testing suggests the new heat pumps can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 82 percent and water costs by 30 percent when integrated with existing waste-heat recovery from refrigeration plants. Steve Bell, vice president of Industrial Refrigeration at Johnson Controls, described the launch as a necessary pivot for businesses struggling with energy price volatility and the requirements of the EU’s Clean Industrial Deal. The units are designed with a standardized, modular configuration intended to accelerate installation timelines and simplify adoption for facilities seeking to modernize legacy thermal infrastructure.
