HTHP Symposium 2019
The 2nd Symposium on High-Temperature Heat Pumps took place on 9 September 2019 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
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
