Coabsorbent heat pumps for the future
Based on the coabsorbent cycles, recently introduced by the author, a particular new technology can be developed for extremely effi cient and feasible heat pumping applications. The paper presents model results of residential and district ammonia/water heating applications for coabsorbent hybrid and absorption heat pumps, supplied by different winter and summer heating and cooling pairs of sources. Among these applications, author’s proposal of coupling the coabsorbent heat pumping plants with thermal power stations, is one of the most important, for effective district heating (besides thermofi cation) and/or cooling, and power plant global effi ciency increase up to 90 percent.
