ElvalHalcor’s copper and alloys extrusion division (Halcor) plays an integral part in the decarbonisation strategy of the European Union by providing copper tubes to its rapidly expanding heat pump market. Heat pumps are key to enabling the transition to clean energy and achieving the EU’s carbon neutrality goal by 2050, as they are up to 3 times more efficient than other forms of heating. According to REPowerEU, increased environmental awareness in Europe, technological know-how and environmentally friendly governmental policies will lead to increased demand for heat pumps, reaching 30 million units by 2030 - almost double the current number of installations.
Following closely market developments to provide the best solutions to its customers, Halcor supplies copper tube products that can be easily processed during the manufacturing of heat pumps. Heat pump unit heat exchangers, assembly piping and valves are made of copper and copper alloys, as are the pre-insulated tubes that are used to connect the external and internal units in case of split system heat pump unit. What is more, Halcor is there to provide solutions both in the manufacturing and final installation stages to ensure that its customers achieve their strict final unit performance targets.
