Daikin Europe is a sponsor of the European Heat Pumps Association’s COP26 road trip to showcase the contribution heat pumps can make. The road trip has also visited a Dutch facility using Daikin products.
The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) is organising a COP26 road trip to highlight the importance and contribution of heat pumps to decarbonising the continent.
EHPA Secretary General, Thomas Nowak, will be visiting various heat pump manufacturers and installations between Düsseldorf and Glasgow from 2 to 11 November. The goal is to show that heat pumps are rapidly becoming more popular in different countries and can be used in new and renovated buildings, in various industries and electric vehicles.
Thomas Nowak from EHPA has also visited one facility using Daikin products with low GWP (global warming potential). On 4 November, the road trip stopped in the Netherlands, at Geelen Counterflow. The company designs, builds and installs counterflow dryers and coolers for feed and food products and is equipped with 2 Daikin chillers (EWYT350B). These dryers and coolers are operational in over 100 countries, in all kinds of companies. Their 8 manufacturing halls are heated and cooled by 2 Daikin heat pumps.
Patrick Crombez, General Manager Heating and Renewables at Daikin, said: “The targets defined during COP26 must include the heating and cooling sector, and more specifically the deployment of heat pumps throughout the continent. It’s a reliable technology and lowers emissions significantly. Daikin is a proud sponsor of EHPA’s road trip, showcasing the contribution heat pumps can make to tackling carbon emission reduction.”
