--- title: Mathematically Rigorous Optimization of Heat Exchangers and the Future of Heat Pumps description: The air-conditioning and refrigeration industries have the potential for tremendous technological progress driven by emerging technologies and the systematic application of mathematically rigorous optimization. An overview about emerging technologies is provided. Furthermore, heat exchangers are selected as example of how mathematically rigorous optimization leads to creative new designs that reduce volume and weight and can even lead to shape conforming heat exchangers. --- [![HTRI Logo](https://info.htri.net/hs-fs/hubfs/HTRI.png?width=130&height=50&name=HTRI.png "HTRI Logo")](https://www.htri.net/) - [Home](https://info.htri.net/horizons) - About - [Symposium Overview](https://info.htri.net/horizons/symposium-overview) - [Steering Committee](https://info.htri.net/horizons/steering-committee) - 2024 Symposium - [Speakers](https://info.htri.net/horizons/2024/speakers) - [Program Schedule](https://info.htri.net/horizons/2024/program-schedule) - [Venue & Fees](https://info.htri.net/horizons/attend/venue) - [Conference Flyer](https://info.htri.net/hubfs/horizons/Horizons2024SpeakerFlyer.pdf) - [Sponsorship Packages](https://info.htri.net/hubfs/horizons/Sponsor%20packages%20Horizons%202024%20230809.pdf) - Past Events - [2022 Program](https://info.htri.net/horizons/past-symposiums/2022-program) - [Purchase 2022 Proceedings](https://www.htri.net/horizons) - [Contact](https://info.htri.net/horizons/contact-us) [![Register Now](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4045210/39a43e76-4871-4cb7-843f-94ce63ec4f42.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4045210/39a43e76-4871-4cb7-843f-94ce63ec4f42) # Mathematically Rigorous Optimization of Heat Exchangers and the Future of Heat Pumps APRIL 22, 08:30 – 09:00 Session: Keynote ![reinhard-radermacher](https://info.htri.net/hubfs/horizons/reinhard-radermacher.jpg "reinhard-radermacher") ### [Reinhard Radermacher](https://info.htri.net/horizons/speakers/reinhard-radermacher) Minta Martin Professor and Director of CEEE University of Maryland ### ABSTRACT The air-conditioning and refrigeration industries have the potential for tremendous technological progress driven by emerging technologies and the systematic application of mathematically rigorous optimization. An overview about emerging technologies is provided. Furthermore, heat exchangers are selected as example of how mathematically rigorous optimization leads to creative new designs that reduce volume and weight and can even lead to shape conforming heat exchangers.
