We consider a thermodynamically consistent diffuse interface model describing two-phase flows of incompressible fluids in a non-isothermal setting. The model was recently introduced in [12] where existence of weak solutions was proved in three space dimensions. Here, we aim at studying the properties of solutions in the two-dimensional case. In particular, we can show existence of global in time solutions satisfying a stronger formulation of the model with respect to the one considered in [12]. Moreover, we can admit slightly more general conditions on some material coefficients of the system.
