Bookings open for Heat Pump Summit

GERMANY: Bookings are now open for the sixth European Heat Pump Summit to be held in Nuremberg in October. 

Being held over two days – October 22 and 23 – the Summit will again focus on the commercial and industrial use of heat pumps and provide detailed descriptions of the applications involved. 

In addition, delegates are promised an in-depth exploration of the markets in Europe and worldwide. As well as looking at innovative technologies in component manufacture and the specific use of heat pumps in commerce and industry, the summit will also explore topics such as refrigerants, the use of hybrid systems, and high-temperature heat pumps. 

The congress is aimed at researchers, technicians, product developers, decision-makers and consulting engineers, component manufacturers and suppliers, designers and architects, and operators of heat pumps in industrial and commercial environments.

Describing the event, Daniela Heinkel of organiser NürnbergMesse said: “The dynamic interplay between the theoretical, highly technical knowledge transfer in the congress, the chance to expand your international network at the get-together and the practical context provided by the Foyer Expo is what makes this event such a special highlight for the international heat pump community.”
