HTHP Symposium 2019

The 2nd Symposium consisted of 15 presentations and 12 poster presentations with speakers from 11 different countries. The presentations were organized in three sessions with a focus on:

• Potential and demand for high-temperature heat pumps
• Industrial cases and examples of successful integration of heat pumps
• Current developments and trends for high-temperature heat pumps

The conference presentations indicated the following developments to be promising contributions for accelerating the deployment of high-temperature heat pumps:

• Optimization of cycle layout and component performances
• Improved integration procedures considering a re-evaluation of supply temperatures, buffer tanks and possibilities to access cheap electricity
• Compressors capable of high supply temperatures and lubrication systems if required
• Reduction of investment cost
