Summary

This report considers the heat pump sector's present difficulties and the reasons for them apart from the general economic situation. The absence of clear signs of recovery is also pointed out. The article describes the growth of heat pump applications in Italy over the last five years, with a forecast for 2010. The various applications are described separately in order to highlight the differences between them. The report concludes with a note on absorption heat pumps. Italy should be an ideal market for heat pump applications due to its climate conditions. According to Meteostat, the Italian climate varies from A (average) in the north to W (warmer) in central and southern Italy: these are climates where heat pumps offer the best performance even for air-to-air types. Nonetheless sales or, more correctly, effective use of heat pumps have not been particularly good.
