DEMO #5: THERMAL LABORATORY

TECHNOLOGY CONCERNED:  GEA & Tecnalia provides a high temperature cost effective heat pump, using natural refrigerant together with specific improvements able to increase its global efficiency.

CONCEPT OF THE DEMONSTRATION: Combining thermal needs (heating and cooling); so, the waste heat from cold sink is upgraded to achieve required temperatures for hot sink, in industrial applications. The demonstration makes it possible to avoid rejecting low temperature waste heat and use it to create low carbon footprint heating; heat pumps are the most suitable technology to perform this process.

CONCEPT TO DEMONSTRATE:

EXPECTED RESULTS

The goal is to achieve a heating COP (coefficient of performance) of 6 for a temperature lift of 35K and build a heat pump which can provide 80⁰C hot water.
