HPDE EXPO Shanghai

The HPDE EXPO (International Exhibition on Heat Pump Distillation) is an international trade fair dedicated to industrial heat pump distillation and energy-efficient heat and separation technologies. Open exclusively to trade visitors, it serves as a specialised platform for companies, technology developers and industry decision-makers seeking innovative solutions to reduce energy consumption in industrial processes. The exhibition focuses on advanced heat pump technologies, intelligent process integration and sustainable solutions for the chemical, pharmaceutical and process industries.

Held annually at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) in Shanghai, China, the event is organised by Shanghai Yihan Exhibition Service Co., Ltd., a company specialising in industrial trade fairs and international technology events. Through its exhibitions, the organiser promotes technical exchange and collaboration across the entire industrial value chain. The HPDE EXPO brings together manufacturers, plant engineering companies, research institutions and industrial end users from around the world.

The exhibition showcases the latest advances in industrial heat pump and distillation technologies. Exhibits include high-temperature, absorption and magnetically levitated turbo heat pumps, integrated heat pump distillation systems, and mechanical vapour recompression (MVR) systems. The product range is complemented by high-performance heat exchangers, evaporation and crystallisation equipment, as well as components such as compressors, expansion valves and specialist tubing. Visitors can also explore corrosion-resistant materials, including titanium, Hastelloy, duplex stainless steel and fluoropolymers. Additional highlights include intelligent control systems with AI-driven process optimisation, digital monitoring and diagnostic solutions, automated manufacturing technologies, waste heat recovery and energy storage systems, together with engineering, plant optimisation, energy efficiency, energy contracting and asset lifecycle management services.

The HPDE EXPO is of particular importance to the Asian market, as China is one of the world's leading investors in energy-efficient industrial processes, sustainable manufacturing and decarbonisation. By taking place in Shanghai, one of Asia's foremost industrial, chemical and technology hubs, the exhibition offers exhibitors and visitors direct access to a dense network of manufacturing companies, research organisations and international investors. This strategic location provides an excellent environment for technology transfer, innovation and the development of international business partnerships.

Exhibitors include manufacturers of industrial heat pump systems, suppliers of heat exchangers, evaporators, process and automation technologies, producers of high-performance materials and components, engineering and plant construction companies, as well as specialists in energy efficiency, environmental technologies and industrial digitalisation. Trade visitors primarily represent the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, environmental and water technology, energy supply, mechanical and plant engineering sectors, together with research organisations, R&D departments, engineering consultancies and design firms.

A key focus of the HPDE EXPO is the presentation of next-generation technologies for energy-efficient industrial production, combined with the promotion of technical exchange between technology providers and industrial users. The exhibition is accompanied by specialist forums, technical presentations and business matchmaking events, where participants gain insights into current industry developments, best practice and innovative solutions for a sustainable and resource-efficient process industry.

Hosted at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), one of Asia's largest and most advanced exhibition venues, the HPDE EXPO benefits from first-class infrastructure. Located in Pudong, the exhibition centre is easily accessible by metro, via Shanghai Pudong International Airport, by high-speed rail and through the city's extensive road network. These advantages provide ideal conditions for international exhibitors and trade visitors from across the globe.

The HPDE EXPO will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 09. December to Friday, 11. December 2026 in Shanghai.
