WHY IT MATTERS

HeatExpo brings the whole chain into one room — generation, networks, storage and the planning around them. Germany is converting its heat supply fast. The hard part is rarely the heat pump or the store on its own — it’s making them work together in a network that already exists.

Large-scale heat pumps and thermal storage carry much of that conversation. The shared problem is how to match a source — river water, wastewater, industrial waste heat, ambient air — to a network that was built for something else, at a price per MWh that holds.

Germany has the load and the political will to move quickly. What it needs is systems designed to fit the networks already in the ground.

WHERE AND WHY MEET US

A heat pump or a TES only earns its place once it fits the network it joins. That fit is the work aalborg hc systems does, matching the solution to the heat source and the demand on the ground.

25+ running plants sit behind that across Europe. As part of the Alois Müller Group, aalborg hc systems works close to the German market it serves. Come find us in Hall 4 (Stand 4.B30) to talk through what a heat pump or pit thermal energy storage would mean for your own system.

FAQ

What does aalborg hc systems deliver?

aalborg hc systems designs and delivers integrated heating and cooling systems in new and existing networks.

This includes:

  • large-scale heat pumps
  • thermal energy storage (TES and PTES)
  • integration of multiple heat sources

The focus is on complete system solutions, not standalone technologies.

Can you integrate into existing district heating plants?

Yes. Most projects involve integration into existing infrastructure. aalborg hc systems connects new technologies to:

  • existing networks
  • boilers and CHP units
  • available heat sources

The result is a coordinated system upgrade, not a replacement of existing assets.

Do you act as EPC contractor?

Yes. aalborg hc systems delivers projects on an EPC basis.

This covers:

  • engineering and system design
  • procurement and supplier coordination
  • construction and commissioning

The responsibility remains with one party from concept to operation.

Which heat sources can you integrate?

aalborg hc systems integrates multiple heat sources within one system, including:

  • wastewater
  • geothermal energy
  • ambient air
  • industrial excess heat

Solutions are designed as source-agnostic systems, optimised for local conditions.

What do you need to get started?

A project can start with a limited set of data:

  • heat demand profile (load curve)
  • supply and return temperatures

Based on this, aalborg hc systems defines a first system concept and integration approach.
