Welcome to Heat Pumping Technologies MAGAZINE, Vol.43 No.2/2025. For the first time, we have migrated to our new, advanced website, and to reflect its fresh identity, this second issue of 2025 features an updated layout, spotlighting a timely and forward-looking theme: Smart Controls and AI for Next-Generation Heat Pump Efficiency. As the heat pump sector continues to evolve, the integration of intelligent control systems, data-driven optimization, and artificial intelligence (AI) is proving essential for achieving higher efficiency, reliability, and user-centric operation.
Inside, we explore how smart algorithms, real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and adaptive system management are reshaping performance across residential, commercial, industrial, and district energy applications. Readers will find practical insights from cutting-edge research, digitalization strategies, and deployment experiences that illuminate pathways for widespread industry adoption.
This issue also features:
