Engineering the next generation of smarter heat pumps

We’re working with the University of Nottingham through an Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Partnership to improve the efficiency and reliability of air source heat pumps.

Meet Bo Han

At the heart of the project is Bo Han, our KTP Associate.

Based within the Bublshop team, Bo is leading the development of the project and working closely with our engineering and product teams, alongside academic specialists at the University of Nottingham.

His role brings together research, engineering and commercial thinking – helping us translate new ideas into practical technology that can ultimately be developed for the real world.

“I’m particularly looking forward to driving the development of the passive enclosure system and AI-enhanced heat pump controls, and to working closely with our partners to translate these innovations into practical, market-ready solutions.”
