UK heat pump market or new development opportunities
【2011-8-6】
According to the refrigeration Express reporter, so far, Britain is still a gas heating system on the main electricity, gas products accounted for 90% of the market. Few of renewable energy products, solar and heat pump technology market share of less than 1 billion euros, so in the UK heating and air conditioning, a great renewable energy potential. In addition, as the British climate generally colder, heating heating market is great. At the same time as the last two years the British government, backed by the heat pump products, I believe the UK heat pump market will usher in a new historical growth.
UK heat pump market has great potential
According to the European Heat Pump Association statistics show that in the past year, compared to the European heat pump sales down 12-14% the previous year. From the heat pump sales in Europe in recent years can be seen on the curve, the European heat pump sales in 2008 reached its peak, then begin to decline. Of course, not all European countries have shown a downward trend, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland and Italy have maintained sales growth in Norway, Sweden and Finland, for every 10,000 households, respectively, 344, 319, 241 families to buy a heat pump products. Switzerland, Italy and Austria, followed by the data. But in the UK, this data is very low, only every 10,000 households bought seven devices.
European Heat Pump Forum to promote the development of renewable energy
4th European Forum on June 1 heat held in London. In this forum, the United Kingdom introduced its potentially huge heat pump market, recalling the 2010 heat pump market, and interpret a new law - the renewable energy incentive program (RHI). European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) was noted, heat pump is a reliable, efficient and independent of energy products, prospects for its application, including: smart grid, industrial heat pumps, energy recovery and district heating and so on. Taking into account EHPA influence in Europe, China Exhibition Organizing Committee will also tried heat pump invited to send a delegation to visit the organization. Meanwhile, the previous market conditions indicate that the UK is more inclined to use air source heat pump. Since 2010, fuel prices rose 24 percent, and the British Government for new housing with more stringent energy-saving environmental protection laws and regulations, the British air-source heat pump market is growing rapidly. During the Forum, and related technology from the United Kingdom Electric Manufacturers Association (BEAMA) Ms. Kelly butler said the UK market tends to air-source heat pump, the ratio of the total market of 80-90%.
