Major Industrial Heat Pump Exhibitions in Shanghai

2026 Shanghai International Heat Pump Application Technology Equipment Exhibition

Held from April 13–15, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), this exhibition is the 4th edition of a premier industry event. Running concurrently with the 27th China Environment Expo and the 4th Shanghai Carbon Science and Technology Expo, the event spans 30,000 square meters of exhibition space, featuring 300+ exhibitors and attracting an estimated 60,000 professional buyers.

The theme “Heat Pump + Application, Decoding the Zero-Carbon Future” reflects the industry‘s ambitious trajectory. The exhibition focuses on:

• Industrial-grade heat pumps: High-temperature heat pumps (120°C+ process steam), wastewater source heat pumps, and industrial waste heat recovery systems for textile dyeing, electroplating, and chemical industries

• Application ecosystem products: Intelligent control systems, heat metering equipment, and carbon footprint management software

• Cross-sector integrated solutions: Heat pump + sludge drying, heat pump + wastewater heat recovery, and carbon asset development services

ECOTECH – Industrial Heat Pump Exhibition at Shanghai Green Manufacturing Week

Taking place from June 9–11, 2026, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai, Hongqiao), this event is part of the broader Shanghai Green Manufacturing and Energy-Saving Technology Exhibition. With a massive 210,000 square meters of exhibition space and 3,500+ participating companies, it stands as one of China‘s benchmark exhibitions in the energy conservation and environmental protection sector.

The industrial heat pump section has become a major highlight, showcasing innovations from industry leaders like Snowman Group, which demonstrated its “heat pump family” including CO₂, ammonia, and steam-based high-temperature heat pump technologies spanning temperature ranges from 40°C to 200°C. The company’s SPT series CO₂ transcritical piston compressor (industrial version) was recognized as an “Outstanding Industrial Heat Pump Product” at the 2026 edition.

HPDE EXPO – International Exhibition on Heat Pump Distillation

Scheduled for December 9–11, 2026, at SNIEC, this specialized trade fair focuses on industrial heat pump distillation and energy-efficient heat and separation technologies. It serves as a dedicated platform for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and process industries, showcasing high-temperature heat pumps, absorption heat pumps, magnetic levitation turbo heat pumps, and mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) systems.

2027 Shanghai International Industrial Heat Pump & Waste Heat Recovery Exhibition

Looking ahead, this exhibition will run from April 20–22, 2027, at SNIEC, alongside the 28th Shanghai International Environment Expo. The event is expected to feature 2,000+ exhibitors and attract over 100,000 professional visitors across 200,000 square meters of exhibition space.
