Absorption heat pumps and chillers in Sweden: applications and market barriers.
Author(s) : GUSTAFSSON M., SETTERWALL F.
Summary
The market for thermally activated heat pumps is rapidly growing in Sweden. The current status, potential and trends of absorption heat pumps in Sweden are presented. The economic constraints related to the investment costs together with energy prices, energy and environmental taxes, policies and governmental/utility subsidies are the strongest factors that affect the market penetration of absorption systems. Absorption heat pumps are estimated to upgrade about 170 MW waste heat. The highest market potential may come from the use of heat from district heating and cogeneration plants driving absorption cooling processes in summertime as well as industrial waste heat recovery.
