Industrial heat storage for your production process
Industrial heat storage enables you to convert renewable energy and waste heat into reliable process heat. The Heatwacht PowerStove is a thermal energy storage system specifically designed for the demands of industrial production environments.
What is industrial heat storage?
Industrial heat storage, also known as industrial thermal energy storage, is the storage of heat at high temperatures for use in production processes. Where conventional heat storage often focuses on building heating at low temperatures, industry requires solutions that can deliver steam, thermal oil, and hot water at temperatures up to hundreds of degrees Celsius.
The need for industrial heat storage is growing rapidly. Businesses are under pressure to decarbonize, but cannot shut down their production processes. Thermal energy storage offers a solution: it enables the transition from gas to renewable sources without compromising security of supply or process stability. Moreover, it provides the opportunity to purchase energy when it is cheapest.
The Heatwacht PowerStove is designed for precisely this challenge. With a maximum storage temperature of 360°C, unlimited charge cycles, and a modular design, the system integrates seamlessly into existing industrial installations. It is CE-certified, externally validated, and entirely manufactured with European materials.
How does thermal energy storage work in industry?
Charge from multiple sources
The thermal energy storage is charged with electricity from self-generation, the grid, or the EPEX SPOT market, or with waste heat from existing industrial processes. The energy management system automatically optimizes the charging schedule.
High-temperature storage in magnetite
The energy is stored in magnetite at temperatures up to 360°C. This natural mineral has excellent heat capacity and does not degrade, even after thousands of charge and discharge cycles.
Integration with your process
The PowerStove is connected to your existing installation via heat exchangers. Whether you need steam, thermal oil, or hot water, the system delivers the right output at the desired temperature.
Continuous and predictable delivery
When your process requires heat, the installation delivers it reliably at a constant temperature. Production processes run uninterrupted, regardless of the availability of external energy sources.

Benefits of industrial heat storage
Thermal energy storage offers concrete advantages for businesses looking to decarbonize without compromising operational reliability.
Applications of thermal energy storage in industry
The PowerStove is deployed in industrial sectors where reliable high-temperature heat is indispensable.
Food and beverage industry
Steam and hot water for pasteurization, sterilization, cooking, and drying. Thermal energy storage guarantees continuous process heat, even outside self-generation hours.
Chemical and process industry
Thermal oil and steam for reactor heating, distillation, and other chemical processes. The high storage temperature and stable delivery are essential for process stability.
Paper, cardboard, and packaging
Drying processes and steam production are particularly energy-intensive. Industrial heat storage reduces gas dependency and enables the use of low-cost renewable energy.
Metals, mining, and minerals
High-temperature heat for processing, preheating, and thermal treatment. The PowerStove delivers reliable heat where industrial continuity is required.
