Summary

Heat recovery becomes increasingly important for the decarbonization of industry. In addition to direct heat recovery, industrial heat pumps are increasingly used to valorize low-temperature waste heat for industrial processes. Increased utilization temperatures of heat pumps in recent years allow for generation of steam, serves as an efficient medium for heat transfer and as a process reactant in industry. For that, different types of heat pumps are available, but nearly no reference plants. In the H2020 project BAMBOO, different heat pump systems were investigated and a demonstrator consisting of a water-to-water heat pump and a flash tank system was built and tested to analyze steam production and efficiency in different operating conditions.
Furthermore, a market potential assessment for steam-generating heat pumps in European countries was done, considering production volumes, steam demand for selected products, and energy prices for different consumption bands (generally speaking different company sizes), showing the influence of different boundary conditions on the economic potential of integrating heat pumps in specific sectors.
This paper describes the measurement results of the demonstrator and the results of the market study.
