Large heat pumps can transform industrial process heat and district heating systems.
But how can theory be turned into practice?
The European Heat Pump Association presents the webinar series ‘Heat BIG: implementing industrial and district heating solutions’
Experts will take end users from idea to implementation – showing how the right large heat pumps can be selected, sourced, financed, installed and run in their factories or systems.
The webinar series is run in conjunction with seven EU-funded projects, and will cover topics from geothermal heat to asset sharing, and how large heat pumps can and are being deployed in industries from food & drink to paper & pulp.
Our first Heat BIG webinar took place on 19 March, on Industrial heat pumps in the food & beverage industry: solutions, challenges and opportunities
Building on real use cases, the workshop showed how heat pumps can be integrated into industrial food & drink processes, the challenges encountered in practice, and the technical solutions available today to address them.
The webinar was part of the EXQUISHEAT project which is co-funded by the EU.
