Congress
The European Heat Pump Summit - meeting place for the international heat pump community - took place in Nuremberg on 26 and 27 October 2021. The focus of the summit was on the professional discussions of current market developments, research and development results and the commercial and industrial application challenges.
IoT and heat pumps: opportunities and challenges [20]
Main speaker:
Dr. Veronika Wilk - AIT Austrian Institute of Technology
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
As digitalization progresses, heat pumps are becoming part of the Internet of Things (IoT).
The IEA HPT Annex 56 analyses the opportunities and challenges of IoT-capable heat pumps for the use in households, commercial and industrial applications.
Controlling Platforms with IoT use for Heat Pumps [21]
Main speaker:
Stig Petersen - LS Control A/S

How to use IoT as part of your controlling platform of your Heat Pump getting the possibility to remotely update the software within the control.
Heat pumps in multi-family buildings -Possible solutions and examples of implementation [22]
Main speaker:
Dr.-Ing. Marek Miara - Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
The use of heat pump systems in apartment buildings is possible and already practiced. Many examples from several countries underline this. Within the framework of HPT TCP Annex 50 "HP in Multi-Family Buildings" a concept was developed to categorize the possible solution variants of heat pump systems.
The DLR High Temperature Heat Pumps Pilot plants [23]
Author(s):
Omar Abu Khass - German Aerospace Center // Stephan Finger - German Aerospace Center
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
Introducing the Institute of Low-Carbon Industrial Processes. Presentation of similarities and differences of two HTHP test benches. Focus on a water/steam-ejector principle.
Steam generating heat pumps – Upcoming technology for heat recovery [24]
Main speaker:
Franz Helminger - AIT Austrian Institute of Technology
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
The generation of steam with heat pumps is a very attractive field for manufacturers and end users. Steam is used both for heat transfer and as a process reactant. The presentation shows the state of the developments, points out the advantages and evaluates the most promising variants.
High-temperature heat pumps – Developments and perspectives [25]
Main speaker:
PhD Benjamin Zühlsdorf - Danish Technological Institute
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
This talk gives an overview of currently ongoing developments and perspectives of high-temperature heat pumps with supply temperatures above 100 °C. The presentation will be based on the currently ongoing Annex 58 about high-temperature heat pumps, which involves around 10 participating countries.
Heat Pumps for Drying [26]
Main speaker:
Dr. Michael Lauermann - AIT Austrian Institute of Technology
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
Presentation of the Annex proposal "Heat Pumps for Drying"
Air source heat pump for district heating with HC: Case study by Frascold [27]
Main speaker:
Kaven Nourrice - Frascold S.p.A.
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
Frascold's presentation concerns the case study that was carried out in collaboration a Danish company specializing in heat pumps, which, using the energy of the air, heats entire neighbourhoods. The CX screw compressor optimizes the system and guarantees its efficiency.
Heat pump, the heart in industrial saving energy projects [28]
Main speaker:
PhD Gheorghe Mihalache - Atis Technologies
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
Possibility of using heat pump in industrial projects in North America with examples from Quebec. Two cases from food industry using 1 MW and 2 MW heat pumps. Showing the impact and key elements to maximize the energy delivered by heat pumps.
Monitoring project IKEA store in Uppsala [29]
Main speaker:
M. Sc. M.E. Tommy Walfridson - RISE Research Institute of Sweden
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
RISE has analysed the heat pump system of the IKEA warehouse in Uppsala, Sweden. It has a poor performing control system giving significant fluctuation in both heating and cooling mode. This also means much lower than possible performance and a performance that is degrading each year. The work belongs to the IEA HPT TCP Annex 52.
Refrigerant Lab 4.0: Integrated Optimization of Heat Pump Systems from Theory to Accessible Practice [30]
Main speaker:
M. Sc. Christian Vering - RWTH Aachen University
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
The Refrigerant Lab 4.0 is an innovative research infrastructure for the optimization of heat pump systems in theory and practice. It is designed as a living lab for participation of stakeholder, supporting interactions during research processes. Thus, we highlight requirements for future research.
Heat pump application in nZEB [31]
Main speaker:
Prof. Carsten Wemhöner - OST - Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
Since Jan 1, 2021, nearly zero energy buildings are the requirement for new buildings in the EU. IEA HPT Annex 49 has investigated heat pump integration and design for the application in nZEB by simulation and field monitoring. The contribution presents final results of the Annex 49.
District networks and heat pumps – competitors or a winning team ? [32]
Main speaker:
Jörg Saar - Danfoss GmbH
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
District heating networks and heat pump compete to supply heat to buildings. Is this still true ? This presentation shows possibilities and challenges how the team of new district heating networks and heat pumps can offer cost attractive and convenient heating and often even cooling for buildings with impressive efficiencies.
Addressing the challenges of efficient non-polluting cooling and heating - the world’s first storage heat pump [33]
Main speaker:
Alexander Schechner - Envola GmbH
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
We need to see technology from a different angle to offer best efficiencies in order to protect our climate. Therefore, Envola gave the heat pump an integrated storage. The Envola storage heat pump offers unknown economic efficiency and eco-friendlyness
Vacuum ice slurry technology for harnessing water bodies as an efficient and powerful heat source for large HPs [34]
Main speaker:
Dr.-Ing. Mathias Safarik - Institut für Luft- und Kältetechnik - Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mbH
Location: Hall Brüssel, NCC Mitte
Low water temperatures close to freezing point in winter as well as fouling of heat exchangers hinder the use of water bodies as heat sources for large-scale heat pumps. Heat extraction by direct evaporation of water with the possibility of partial icing overcomes these obstacles.
