Economic applications of heat pumps in integrated distillation systems.

Author(s) : FONYO Z., MIZSEY P.

Summary

The influence of relevant parameters on the economics of distillation plants involving distinct heat pump cycles is scrutinized, and the results are compared to conventional and integrated schemes. On the basis of the COP and energy costs and efficiencies, simple expressions are proposed for preliminary economic analysis and design of heat pump-assisted distillation. The influence of heat pump type, purity requirement, column pressure drop, feed rate, energy cost, relative volatility, etc, on the energy aspects and economic range of applications is presented.
