The heat pumps for saving the planet
The heat pumps for saving the planet
Two international events on heat pumps are set to take place in mid-May in Europe.
On 11 and 12 May it’s the turn of DecarbHeat, the conference organised by the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) at the Bel Building in Brussels. The purpose of the event is to gather ideas from a vast public on the next steps to take towards a 100% green heating and refrigeration sector.
CAREL’s contribution, scheduled for the second day, will come courtesy of Biagio Lamanna, HVAC/R Knowledge Center Manager, and focuses on ‘Improved controls for smart heat pumps’.
‘In Brussels I’d like to focus on the interaction between building management systems via the IoT and machine learning and heat pumps featuring advanced controls,’ comments Lamanna. ‘The idea is to highlight its potential in terms of reducing energy consumption, lowering operating costs and optimisation.’
From 15 to 18 May, on the other hand, Rotterdam hosts the 12th IEA Heat Pump Conference, a forum dedicated to the world of industry and research involving experts from all over the world. With a title of ‘Rethink Energy, Act NOW!’, the programme aims towards accelerating the introduction of heat pumps where they can reduce energy consumption for the good of the planet.
CAREL is set to take part on 16 May, in the session dedicated to supermarkets, with a speech by Sergio Maria Capanelli, CAREL Application Specialist, entitled: ‘Benefits of integration between heat pumps and food refrigeration systems for commercial applications: an example of efficient energy recovery for Near Zero Energy Buildings’.
‘CAREL’s efforts to supply control solutions for conditioning, heating and refrigeration focus on integrating various areas and competence extending beyond the confines of individual products, towards integrated application solutions,’ adds Capanelli. ‘For this reason, we’ve prepared a contribution centred around the benefits of integration in commercial applications between heat pumps and refrigeration systems.’
