How many Heat Pumps were sold in Europe in 2022, in which countries and what types - and why? What impact will current and future EU policy plans have on the market? This presentation will reveal the answers. 

The presentation will provide an overview of the financial, market & policy measures taken by the UK government to support the acceleration of heat pump ramp-up in the UK to decarbonise heat and ensure greater energy security, including the role of European manufacturers and component providers.

This presentation will explore the key findings and learnings from the UK Governments Heat Pump Ready Programme. The aims of Heat Pump Ready are to develop innovative tools, technologies and methodologies which overcome barriers to heat pump deployment and support the deployment.

The presentation will explore the consequences of the F-gas and REACH regulations on the European Heat Pump market, taking into account the REpower EU targets as announced by the European Commission in Spring 2022. In particular, we will focus on the proposed bans on certain F-gases in Heat Pumps.

Presentation on market context of HFO refrigerants in Heat Pumps, optimization of residential Heat Pumps for HFO refrigerants (R-454C, R-455A and R-1234yf) to match or surpass R-410A performance, and a brief discussion on PFAS regulation and the importance of HFOs in overall CO₂ emission goals.

A residential Heat Pump using R-454C refrigerant has been tested and optimized to get best efficiency and capacity out of the system. A thermodynamic model has been developed that might help Heat Pump OEM manufacturers improving their systems while saving R&D resources and time.

The use of Heat Pump systems in battery electric vehicles (BEV) is increasing to reduce the energy required by the thermal management. Our new refrigerant R-474A provides high capacity and high efficiency in a wide temperature range offering more degrees of freedom to the system designers.

R-290 is going to be adopted as the main standard refrigerant for monobloc Heat Pumps in commercial comfort applications. Different technologies, safety regulations constraints are investigated. Solutions are ready for lot of cases, still industry stakeholders need to be supported in the transition.

HVAC architecture is currently changing due to evolving government regulations, following megatrends like the electrification of the HVAC equipment, increased Energy Efficiency Standards (IECC), lower GWP refrigerants and the addition of gas sensors for regulatory compliance.

This presentation examines different heat exchanger designs and system concepts for air-source Heat Pumps, regarding ambient conditions and operating situations in commercial and industrial applications.

The presentation will provide an overview of the line-up of Saginomiya components for hydrocarbon Heat Pumps and the advantages they offer for the unit design and performance. You will get information on products such as pressure switches and sensors or electronic expansion valves.

As the number of Heat Pumps increases, so does the noise pollution for residents. The presentation will show how noise emissions can be reduced through effective internal decoupling of Heat Pump components and of the whole Heat Pump. Using PU dampers has huge advantages in comparison to conventional ones.

Modern Heat Pumps are designed for low sound emissions. Acoustic cameras can be effectively used to isolate the acoustic weaknesses of a construction or its sub-optimal installation in the field. An overview of the effective use of this technology for engineering and service applications is given.

How does a component manufacturer like ebm-papst support the Heat Pump industry with regard to low-noise applications and high-efficiency systems as well as predictive maintenance topics and the use of new refrigerants?

In this presentation, we will describe how Alfa Laval heat exchanger development makes it possible to create efficient and sustainable fossil-free heating solutions using natural refrigerants. We will highlight the latest developments of the plate heat exchanger technology and describe cases. 

Copeland’s mission to help decarbonize heating in Europe continues with the development of a complete range of fixed and variable speed compressors with R-290 up to 200 kW. With best-in-class efficiency and the lowest sound power level available, OEMs now have numerous options to improve their systems.

Dorin is presenting his technology for R-744 and hydrocarbon Heat Pumps. An insight into hydrocarbon high temperature heat pumps reaching 150 °C at condensing conditions and the recent improvements together with TNO.

R-744 in Heat Pumps with the focus on large of large-scale district heating application. The presentation focus is on the basic system design and large-scale R-744 compressors for Heat Pump applications.

Danfoss is committed to the reduction of CO₂ emissions in the heating sector and supports OEMs & installers with energy efficient components, solutions & services both on the Heat Pump & hydronic side. In addition Heat Pump components are qualified & optimized with the greenest of suitable refrigerants.
