Summary

Heat transformers can upgrade low-level waste heat so that hot water can be supplied at a higher temperature or steam can be obtained. Heat transformers with working fluids H2O/LiBr have been used in Japanese industrial processes since 1981. This article describes a typical installation at a distillation plant. The available heat output of the heat transformer is around 50% of the waste heat input. Heat recovery systems using heat transformers contribute to CO2 emission reduction.
