Kensa’s Shoebox Heat Pump, which made affordable renewable heating in high-rise flats a reality and changed the way people see Ground Source Heat Pumps, has been recognised as a UK green heating pioneer after being added to the Science Museum Group collection.
The ‘little white box’, responsible for around a third of all UK ground source heat pump installations, is the first and only ground source heat pump to be included in the collection, where it will join over seven million historic and significant items collected and documented by the Science Museum Group since 1851.
In addition to being immortalised in their collection, the compact heat pump will be on display to the public as part of the Science Museum’s new Adani Green Energy Gallery, where it will rub shoulders with other trailblazing energy transition products, such as the historic Bersey electric taxi cab and one of the world’s first rechargeable batteries.
First launched in 2012, Shoebox heat pumps currently deliver green heat to thousands of homes and have helped lift numerous people out of fuel poverty. They were also a driving force in the development of Kensa’s Networked Ground Source Heat Pump model, a sustainable heating solution set to play a crucial role in the mass decarbonisation of UK homes and businesses.
As the Shoebox secured its place in history, the British manufacturer launched its successor, the Shoebox NX. In the NX, Kensa has combined over 10 years of Shoebox successes and development with 25 years of ground source heat pump expertise, creating a highly efficient, compact heat pump that’s set to be a game-changer for the UK heat market.
