Heat pumps for low temperature thermal grids in retrofit projects

The EU goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and imports of Russian gas leads to large-scale replacement of gas with heat pumps. Dense urban areas with a wide range of building standards impose new requirements. Low temperature networks creates new conditions for heat pumps to deliver heating and cooling in these challenging environments.

The project is developing heat pump technology adapted to new temperature ranges, solutions for easier and more flexible installation and monitoring systems for efficient operation of large systems. The project's results enables the pace of gas phase-out in Europe to be accelerated, by: - using heat and cooling in a resource-efficient way

- increasing the cost-effectiveness of converting existing buildings - making the operation and maintenance of large-scale solutions more efficient

Overall, the project supports Sweden in building a leading global position in innovation and commercialization of heat pump solutions.
