ecop Technologies GmbH

ecop is a technology company that develops, manufactures and sells novel high-temperature large-scale heat pumps and chillers for industrial use. The systems have a much higher efficiency (COP) compared to the prior art and have lower operating costs due to less loaded wearing parts. Further advantages arise when used with different temperature ranges and the possibility of high temperature delivery. The basis for this is the compression of the working fluid by centrifugal force with rotation up to 1800 revolutions and subsequent expansion of the medium in a single-phase process. Several national and international patents have been granted. The working medium is ecologically sustainable (environmentally neutral, no release of greenhouse gases possible) and non-flammable. ecop helps customers recover energy, protect the environment and save costs. Altogether, ecop has 13 employees in the headquarters and production in Neuhofen an der Krems and in the branch office in Vienna, where the development center equipped with the most modern technologies is located. ecop has been awarded a number of prizes, including the European Business Award for the Environment 2018 (Winner The Process Award) of the European Commission, the State Prize Environmental Technology 2018/19, the Innovation Prize of Upper Austria (2nd place), the ÖGUT Environmental Award 2017, the Mercur Innovation Award 16 in the category “Green Economy”, the Daphne Environmental Technology Award in Gold 2016, the EDISON Award 2012, the VIE Energy Globe 2010 and was awarded “winner by passion” 2017 and 2018 by the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber.
