Summary

Over the past few years international literature has given some attention to a new working principle applicable to thermal-driven heat pumps, which may be an alternative to the well-known absorption process. This new process is referred to as the 'reserve rectification' process. In theory it has certain advantages over the standards absorption processes, for which the working pairs ammonia/water or lithium bromide/water are usually used. This article describes the principle of this process, its advantages and the results of the first testing experiments.
