4th International Conference on Industrial Waste Heat Valorisation

Kortrijk, Belgium, 23-24 May 2016

   

Since many years, UGent research group Thermal Energy in Industry (TEI) has been elaborating practical oriented research in the field of industrial waste heat valorization. Results of own work as well as from other groups, together with promising developments and reference applications by companies are presented on a regular base via a series of conferences. These conferences are not conceived to be “for and by” academics but especially to inform industrials about technology (almost) ready for use in industrial processes.

Topic in this 4th (2016) edition: Heat pump assisted drying Recent developments in high temperature industrial heat pumps Intermediate thermal storage in discontinue industrial processes and to respond to variable energy prices

By attending this conference, you will be well prepared to optimize your thermal processes on energy efficiency and costs as well as to better prepared to the coming energy transition.

During the 2016 sysmposium, 3 themes will be handled (please click on the text to have more information):

- Theme 1: Heat pump assisted drying

- Theme 2: Recent developments in high temperature industrial heat pumps

- Theme 3: Intermediate heat/cold storage in discontinue industrial processes

Organizing research groups: Ghent University (http://www.ugent.be/en)
Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (http://www.ugent.be/ea/en)
Department of Flow, heat and combustion mechanics (http://www.ugent.be/ea/floheacom/en)
Research group Thermal Energy in Industry (TEI)  (http://www.tei.ugent.be)

Research group TEI has been conducting research on waste heat valorization especially to transform it into electricity through organic Rankine cycle technology (ORC) or to upgrade it to process heat by using heat pumps. Previous symposia (2009-2012-2014) were held around these themes.

Heat Pump Forum 2016, 18-20 May 2016, Paris, France
The 9th edition of EHPA’s annual Forum will take place in Paris, France, one of the biggest heat pump markets in Europe and will be held under the patronage of the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy.
The EHPA Heat Pump Forum 2016 will showcase the underestimated potential of heat-pump technology and look at the successful European and national climate and energy policies that benefit from heat pumps. More information.

- 12th IEA Heat Pump Conference, 15-18 May 2017, Rotterdam, Netherlands
From 15th – 18th of May 2017 the International Energy Agency organizes its 12th Heat Pump Conference at the World Trade Centre in Rotterdam. A conference where the latest development and prospects in technology, applications and markets are shared with applied professionals.
The goal of the Conference goes beyond the traditional topics of energy efficiency, renewables and environment. It will focus on the main solutions and choices that has to be made not only on economics, but on the expectations on future energy situations where energy infrastructure is becoming more and more independent from insecure suppliers. This conference will highlight that Heat Pumping Technologies is one of the key technical solutions available. More information.
