Summary

A special new type of heat transformer (TRAXX) is described which makes it possible to transform economically low-temperature waste heat (60-100 deg C) into useful heat of a higher temperature (90-160 deg C). The heat transformer operates in accordance with the absorption principle, in the reverse way to an absorption refrigeration plant. The key components are a desorber, an evaporator a condenser and an absorber from which useful heat is extracted. The results are presented. A pilot plant with a useful heat flow of 100 kilowatts was built and tested. From this were derived the basic data for a new cycle which can transform the heat by greater temperature differences (more than 60 deg C). This is achieved by installing an additional absorber. A plant with 4 megaatts useful performance was then designed and is now being operated in order to gather experience.
