Drying is one of the most energy-intensive operations across industry, and heat pumps offer a clear pathway to cutting that demand. In this closing webinar of IEA HPT Project 59, we bring together results, tools, and real-world experience from across the collaboration.

On the agenda:

🔹 Welcome and introduction (HPC)

🔹 Verena Sulzgruber (AIT): Introducing the Drying Toolbox – theoretical potential for energy savings in drying processes

🔹 Philip Hofmann (Fraunhofer IEG): Heat pump-assisted superheated steam drying

🔹 Cordin Arpagaus (OST): Heat pumps for industrial drying processes – an overview of realized use cases

🔹 Michael Poelzl (AIT): From idea to execution – guidelines and obstacles for successful heat pump implementation

Whether you work in process engineering, energy efficiency, or industrial decarbonisation, this session connects the science to practical implementation.
