Conference on Heat-Pump Technology Using Mine Water

The National Coal Mining Museum for England will be hosting a conference on heat-pump technology using minewater on 22 February 2010. Conventional closed-loop heat pump systems have now become commonplace in the repertoire of heating systems available. The use of open-loop heat-pump systems is, however, still in its infancy, although they have the potential to provide heating on a large scale where appropriate resources are available.

To publicise these alternative methods of heating, the National Coal Mining Museum is holding a conference on 22 February 2009, where the speakers have direct experience of the practical methods of implementing such systems and of places where they have already been introduced successfully. The conference should be of interest especially to housing associations, local-government housing departments and developers of large-scale industrial complexes, as well as to those working in the field of alternative clean energy and those dealing with research and the practical utilisation of coal-mining resources.
