COGENERATION IN COMBINATION WITH ELECTRIC HEAT PUMPS.

Author(s) : COLLET P. J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE AUTHOR SUGGESTS THAT FOR BUILDINGS REQUIRING 24 HOUR HEATING, A COMBINATION OF COGENERATION AND HEAT-PUMP PLANTS WITH THERMAL STORAGE WILL BE ECONOMIC. THE COGENERATION SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE ELECTRICITY AND WASTE HEAT DURING HIGH TARIFF PERIODS AND ALSO PRIME TWO THERMAL STORAGE TANKS, ONE AT BUILDING HEATING TEMPERATURE, THE OTHER MAKING USE OF LOWER TEMPERATURE EXHAUST HEAT WHICH THEN FORMS A HEAT SOURCE FOR THE HEAT PUMP. THE HEAT PUMP CAN THEN OPERATE AT HIGH CONDENSING TEMPERATURE LEVELS PRODUCING HEATING DURING PERIODS OF LOW ELECTRICITY TARIFF. D.W.H.
