(AOF) – Boostheat announces the start-up of its brand new test laboratory. The company now has its own facilities to carry out its unit tests on future thermal compressors. These tests will thoroughly characterize every aspect of the company’s compressors, evaluating their performance, reliability and energy efficiency. In addition to these unit test resources, the laboratory is equipped with application test resources to assess the integration of thermal compressors into systems such as heat pumps.
Thanks to these test means, Boostheat now has a suitable infrastructure to support the evaluation of its thermal compression solutions on new industrial applications such as the production of heat, cold or even cogeneration.

These innovations are surfing on the development of consumers’ ecological concerns. Thus the flagship brand of Procter & Gamble, Ariel, has launched a range comprising 40% more plant ingredients than conventional products. The brand, leader in the sector in France with around 24% market share, also relies on cardboard containers for its capsules. The latter often concentrate innovations because they constitute a very dynamic segment, with increases in value more than twice as high as the increase in the market as a whole.
Skip, a brand of the Unilever group, has also chosen the French market to launch a preview of new capsules and all-cardboard packaging. The Henkel group with its Le Chat brand has launched a detergent in the form of bars that reduce the use of plastic.
