Economic Analysis of the Absorption Heat Pump in Supercritical Unit

Abstract:

As an effective energy-saving device, the heat pump is environmentally friendly and advantageous in the recovery of low-temperature and middle-temperature waste heat. So it is increasingly being used in practical applications. The circulating water which is produced by power plants has a large number of low-temperature waste heat. It will bring huge economic and environmental benefits by using heat pump technology to recover those waste heat energy. The application of the heat pump in supercritical unit is discussed as the example of central heating project using waste heat in a power plant. And the basic principle of absorption heat pump is introduced. The economy, energy conservation and environmental benefits of lithium bromide absorption heat pump are also analyzed when it is used in 600MW supercritical unit.
