Task 1: Technologies – State of the art and ongoing developments for systems and components
Task 1 aims at providing an overview of high-temperature heat pump technologies for supply of temperatures >100 °C. This review includes state-of-the-art technologies as well as technologies at lower technology readiness levels, which will enter the market within some years.
Task 1: Technologies – State of the art and ongoing developments for systems and components
The developments in the field of HTHPs are rapid and have an interdisciplinary character. Especially the compressor developments are not only based on conventional refrigeration compressors but also on components from process industries and on new technologies, which were beyond the scope of the previous Annexes. Task 1 focused on the technologies and aimed at giving an overview of current state-of-the-art technologies, as well as technologies at lower technology readiness levels, which are expected to enter the market within the coming years. The focus was on the technologies and components, while the applications are covered by Tasks 2 and 3.
More specifically, Task 1 covered:
Overview of technologies including systems and components
Collection of demonstration cases
Ongoing research, development & demonstration projects
Technology review about supplier technologies and demonstration cases
As part of Task 1, we collected information about heat pump systems and successful demonstration cases. The review of heat pump systems includes both commercially available systems, as well as systems under development. The demonstration cases are based on systems in operation and focusing on the applications and end-user experiences.
Preliminary results of the technology review are shown in the tables below, including the descriptions for supplier technologies and demonstration cases. An analysis of the provided data is presented in the report.
The technology overview will remain open for new submissions and updated, and you are welcome to contribute with a description of a relevant technology or demonstration case by using the templates below. Please prepare the description in the Layout Scheme and follow the instructions in the Instructions Scheme.
