At the 15th IEA Heat Pump Conference in Vienna in May 2026, Annex 59 will contribute to the technical programme with two presentations. Both are addressing the role of heat pumps in energy-efficient industrial drying processes.
Verena Sulzgruber from AIT will give a presentation on “Toward low-energy drying: Analysis of current processes and energy reduction potential utilizing heat pumps” in the session HTH11+AIP2, taking place on Friday, May 29, from 14:40 to 16:00.
A second contribution will be given by Leon P. M. Brendel from OST, who will present “Heat Pumps for Industrial Drying Processes – An Overview of Realized Case Studies” in session HTH15 on Thursday, May 28, from 14:40 to 16:00.
Want to explore the research in more detail? After the conference, all paper presentations will be available to download for free from this website.
