HEAT PUMP CUTS ENERGY USE.
Author(s) : BARNWELL J., MORRIS C. P.
Type of article: Article
Summary
ENERGY USE CAN BE CUT BY NEARLY HALF WITH A HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION IN OPERATION OF A BUTANE SPLITTER. THE TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN USED SUCCESSFULLY FOR SEPARATION OF OTHER CLOSE BOILING MATERIALS, IE ETHANE/ETHYLENE, PROPANE/PROPYLENE, AND ALSO FOR DEISOHEXANIZERS. ON THE OTHER HAND, COMPARED TO A CONVENTIONAL FRACTIONATOR, THE HEAT PUMP INCREASES BATTERY LIMIT CAPITAL COST FOR WHICH INCREASE THE PAYOUT TIME IS LESS THAN ONE YEAR. HEAT PUMP CONFIGURATIONS WITH OVERHEAD COMPRESSION AND BOTTOM FLASH COMPRESSION ARE SHOWN DIAGRAMMATICALLY AND DESCRIBED IN THE TEXT. COMPARATIVE DATA ARE GIVEN IN THE TABLES. E.W.S.
