Skyven Technologies says its industrial heat pump, the “Arcturus” (marketed as the “Skyven Arcturus” or “Skyven Arcturus Heat Pump”), reaches a coefficient of performance (COP) of 8.0 for industrial steam production. Multiple releases describe the result as an efficiency benchmark and report that it exceeds performance seen at commissioning.
PR Newswire outlets say the new COP represents an improvement of more than 20% compared with commissioning, reinforcing the company’s positioning of Arcturus among the most efficient available steam technologies. PV Magazine adds additional commissioning context, saying the demonstration center recorded a COP of 6.5 at commissioning last November and that the updated result is especially relevant to European manufacturers, which face higher costs for steam than in the US. The outlets broadly align on the headline COP figure and the magnitude of improvement, with PV Magazine focusing more on the economic implications and commissioning baseline.
