Star seeks input to heat pump study

UK: Glasgow-based Star Refrigeration is seeking input to an online study into sector-specific heat pump requirements.

Through the launch of a comprehensive survey, the company seeks to gather critical data from diverse industries.

According to Star, the project intends to collate information about the operational needs of various industries and businesses within the same sector.

The company is seeking input from businesses in the brewing, food and drink, pharma, meat processing, chemicals, paper, bakery, and distilling sectors.

Star says that the data provided will serve to inform the design of efficient, data-driven and customer-led heat pump technologies that are easily adaptable across a multitude of applications and scenarios, laying the ground for the development of next-generation heat pump solutions.

The survey’s insights will also help the company identify heat pump packages eligible for government incentives and funding, making it easier and more affordable for businesses to transition to energy-efficient heat pump systems.

Participants in the survey will receive a copy of the report on industry-specific findings and be entered into a draw to win a £250 voucher.

To take part, the survey can be accessed here.
