OVERVIEW OF INDUSTRIAL HEAT PUMP ACTIVITIES IN EUROPE.

Author(s) : LAUE H. J., LEHMANN A., MILBITZ A.

Summary

THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE ADVANCES IN HEAT PUMP USE IN INDUSTRY SINCE 1987 AND THE POSSIBLE FUTURE MARKET. LOW FUEL PRICES HAVE RESTRICTED HEAT PUMP INSTALLATIONS AS PAYBACK TIMES HAVE INCREASED. FUTURE DIFFICULTIES LIE WITH THE PHASE-OUT OF CFCS. HOWEVER INTEREST INCREASES IN THE REDUCTION OF CO2 FROM FUEL. HEAT PUMPS WITH A COP ABOVE UNITY MUST REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING. IF SIMULTANEOUS HEATING AND COOLING ARE POSSIBLE, HEAT PUMP USE SHOULD INCREASE. PARTICULARLY IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS WHERE HIGHER TEMPERATURE LIFTS AND HEAT REJECTION TEMPERATURES ARE OBTAINED. FOOD PROCESSING IS ON OF THE MAIN AREAS OF USE AND A BREWERY APPLICATION FOR MALTHOUSE DRYING, TAKING HEAT FROM MALT GERMINATION IS QUOTED. D.W.H.
