Quick Development of the Heat Pump in European Market

Recently, on the International Refrigeration Air-conditioner Energy Efficiency and Environmental Protection Technology Forum, MartinForsn, the chairman of Swedish Heat Pump Association, said that "As a kind of technology that can reduce the pressure of global warming, the heat pump system is attracting more and more attention in these years. And this system is not limited in air conditioners. In many countries in European Union, people use the heat pump system instead of gas-fired boilers and oil-burning boilers. This system can reduce the use of fossil fuels, as a result, it becomes one of the most efficient ways of reducing the carbon dioxide emission."

A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location to another location by using mechanical work. Most heat pump technology moves heat from a low temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink. Common examples are food refrigerators and freezers, air conditioners, and reversible-cycle heat pumps for providing thermal comfort.

It is said that the heat pump water heater unit has been developed quickly in many European countries such as Austria, Finland, Germany, and France, etc. The total sales volume of the heat pump system was about 520,000 pieces in 2009, which increased about 110% when compared to that in 2005.

Martin also said that France, Sweden, Germany, and Norway have the quickest market development. Taking Sweden as an example, the domestic market of this country is developed very fast, and about 116,900 pieces of heat pumps were sold in 2009. According to him, enterprises as well as people in Sweden are enthusiastic about green life with low carbon which will push forward the sales volume of the heat pump products.

Besides, Martin mentioned that the Swedish government promised that it will try its best to make Sweden the world's 1st country which will no longer use the petroleum in 2020. Moreover, people of Sweden will depend on renewable energy sources. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, the government must invest a large amount of money in the research of the renewable energy source. If people use the heat pump system instead of the oil-fired boiler or the electric-heating system, the government will give some rewards. Obviously, the increasing energy price makes most people look for the cheaper substitutes like the heat pump products. Besides, the water pump, oil pump are also very important.

The chairman also said that the quality of the products and the installation are the main obstacle to popularize the heat pump products. As a result, the association will take measures to eliminate people's bad impression so as to speed up the marketing process.
