The CHPA consists of members of the Heat Pump Committee of the China Energy Conservation Association (CECA). The three-day CHPF is widely recognized as the foremost event for discourse on the future of heat pumps, not only for China but for the world.

China today is at the center of heat pump research, product development and manufacturing. The CHPF is an annual event that typically draws more than 1500 participants from around the globe. Even more participants are expected in 2024 as the uptake of heat pumps accelerates globally.

A Twelve-Year History

Heat pumping technology expanded dramatically since the first CHPF was held in 2012 under the auspices of the CHPA. Since that inaugural forum, innovative technologies have boosted the adoption of heat pumps in new climate zones, new markets and new commercial and residential applications. The uptake of heat pumps in the global economy is accelerating at unprecedented rates, thanks to advanced technologies as well as policies aimed at energy savings and decarbonization.

“This forum has consistently led the charge in promoting heat pump technologies and energizing the growth of the heat pump industry. Much progress has been made in the past twelve years, yet we are just warming up,” said Hengyi Zhao (Cooper Zhao), general secretary of the China Heat Pump Alliance.

“This prestigious event features presentations by premier heat pump manufacturers as well as noted experts from domestic and international spheres,” says Zhao. “Key business leaders from around the world will attend the CHPF in August. It is an event not to be missed by movers and shakers in the heat pump sector.”

The Premier Global Event for Heat Pump Technology

As the world’s largest heat pump conference, the CHPF draws over 1,500 participants annually from China, Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea as well as other countries. The latest technological advancements from around the world will be revealed and discussed at the CHPF. It is the most significant global forum for fostering meaningful collaborations in the global heat pump sector. The CHPF sets a benchmark for industry engagement and innovation. Strategic plans formulated at the 2024 HPF will set the stage for evolution of the heat pump sector for years to come.

Delegates represent heat pump manufacturers and equipment suppliers as well as suppliers of essential parts and components. Product agents and experts from research & inspection institutes will be present, too. Representatives from key colleges and universities as well as industry associations, institutions of architectural design and construction, energy-saving service contractors and property developers will attend along with HVAC engineers & professionals who seek to keep up-to-date with the myriad changes in the industry.

Diverse Agenda

The program includes a main forum as well as seven different sub-forums, covering diverse topics from clean heating to international markets, exploring the breadth and depth of the heat pump industry. Sessions will include presentations of advanced air source air-to-water (AS-ATW) heat pump technologies for cold climate. high-temperature and industrial heating as well as presentations on international heat pump markets, policy information updates, and other topics. Besides top technologists sent from major OEMs, subject matter experts will be sent from various Chinese authorities as well as organizations such as the IEA, EHPA, EPEE and the Heat Pump & Thermal Storage Technology Center of Japan (HPTCJ). The CHPF offers exclusive insights from many such industry leaders.

The conference spaces at the Shanghai Fuyue Hotel facilitate easy networking within the designated tea break areas, allowing participants to share ideas and forge connections in a relaxed setting. The conference promotes open discussions, encouraging a collaborative environment for sharing ideas and discussing industry developments. For hands-on experiences of the new technologies, an ample number of heat pump technologies and components will be on display at the booths of the floor exhibit.

There will be around 100 booths at the Forum. Attendees can engage with seventy-plus manufacturers as they learn about new heat pump technologies, touching and interacting with new products on display.

This annual event encourages team spirit and networking through a friendly soccer game, enhancing communication among attendees. The dinner events offer a relaxed environment for socializing and entertainment, including activities such as lotteries and performances. Each participant receives a special souvenir, adding a personal touch to the forum.

Shanghai offers a dazzling backdrop for the CHPF, including a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, from The Bund’s historic charm to Pudong’s futuristic skyline. Don’t miss the serene beauty of Yu Garden or the bustling energy of Nanjing Road. Shanghai’s dynamic spirit mirrors the pioneering essence of our conference, making it the perfect setting for this global gathering.
