SINTEF arranged for the second time a conference on high temperature heat pump addressing the potential and challenges of the technology under the aspect of decarbonizing the industry.

Participant form 11 different countries were present at the second conference on high temperature heat pumps

Necessity of technology

Thomas Nowak from the European Heat Pump Association opened the conference in front of around 100 participants in Copenhagen. He outlined the necessity of the technology in order to  reduce the industrial carbon footprint, but also addressed the lack of knowledge about the potential, especially from political side.

In the three sessions of the conference the general potential and demand for high temperature was addressed as well as successful industrial cases and integration examples and the current developments and trends for high temperature heat pumps.

Current work on HTHP

In the concluding poster session PhD students as well as senior researchers presented their current work.

The poster session turned out to be not only technical highlight but also a social gathering.

Infographic showing the flow of thermal energy storage (TES) from surplus heat or cold to end users. On the left, red and blue thermometer icons represent surplus heat and cooling, accompanied by the text “Surplus heat or cold – Captured and stored for when it’s needed.” In the centre, a large panel titled “Thermal Energy Storage (TES)” presents three storage technologies. The top section, “Sensible TES,” shows a container with a thermometer and the text “Stores heat in one single phase.” The middle section, “Latent TES,” shows a water droplet and snowflake connected by circular arrows, with the text “Stores heat through phase change.” The bottom section, “Thermochemical TES,” shows two connected coloured circles that separate and reconnect, illustrating a reversible reaction, with the text “Stores heat through reversible reactions.” A large pale arrow-shaped wedge points from the TES panel toward the right side of the figure. On the right, three application areas are shown in separate boxes with icons: industrial processes, buildings, and data centres. The layout conveys that surplus heat or cold can be stored using sensible, latent, or thermochemical TES technologies and later supplied to industrial facilities, buildings, and data centres.

Thermal energy storage is already commercial
