AMT Kältetechnik GmbH, an experienced engineering and construction company of industrial and commercial heating and cooling solutions, has won the public bid to build and integrate DryFiciency’s two novel closed-loop heat pump systems capable of reaching temperatures of up to 160 degrees Celsius. 

Chillventa in Nuremberg is the international trade fair for refrigeration, ventilation and heat pumps. Industry, wholesalers, trade associations and educational institutions in the field are given the opportunity to network, uncover innovations, present products and catch up with trends in the industry every two years.

DryFiciency was presented by a number of project partners which had for its result that a number of industry representatives, especially manufacturers of heat pumps expressed interested in the project. 

The conference “INDustrial TECHnologies 2018: Innovative industries for smart growth” aimed at discussing future trends and developments within Key Enabling Technologies and reshaping the research and innovation system to strengthen production in Europe.

Veronika Wilk, scientific coordinator, presented the DryFiciency project in the session 1.2 on Sustainable and efficient energy . 

On 15^th of October 2018, a panel debate on large heat pumps for industrial processes was organized during the Chillventa Congress. The panel, moderated by Thomas Nowak (European Heat Pump Association), gathered together industry representatives: Dr. Veronika Wilk (Austrian Insitute of Technology), Eric Delforge (Mayekawa) and Alexander Cohr Pachai (Johnson Controls), discussing the reasons for the up to now underdeveloped market segment. ​
