Electrify Process Heat.
Vapor Phase is a Seattle-based engineering company focused on electrifying heat in food processing. We’re starting where the thermal story is clear: dairy plants that need both reliable hot water and chilled glycol every day.
Make electrified industrial heat systems that operators can trust: predictable performance, straightforward maintenance, affordable energy costs
Because heat and cooling already coexist
In many dairies, heating and cooling are treated as separate systems. Cooling creates significant recoverable heat. When you connect the loops thoughtfully, you can build a more coherent thermal plant.
- Batch pasteurization creates peak heating loads.
- Product cooling is continuous and often constraining.
- Process temperatures are well understood and repeatable.
What we optimize for
We keep the engineering grounded in field reality. The goal is a system that is understandable, installable, and maintainable.
Integration first
Design around existing plant interfaces so upgrades feel like an evolution, not a rebuild.
Right-sized equipment
Use thermal storage to handle batch dynamics, keeping core machinery appropriately sized.
Operational clarity
Controls should make the system easier to run, not harder. Modes should be legible to operators.
Start with the load
We prefer measured data and real constraints. Early discussions are about understanding your process, mapping the thermal loads, and identifying the simplest integration approach.

- Existing equipment and tie-in points
- Space, access, and service constraints
