Solution examples for cooling and process heating in industrial applications
As a result of continuous energy demand increase, while at the same time replacing fossil fuel boilers, decarbonizing the industrial process heat sector has never been more relevant. Heat pumps have great potential to support this journey. While the technology principles are not new, new applications and new process integration approaches are needed. This paper suggests solution examples for combined cooling and heating in Food and Beverage sites, including low pressure steam generation. New installations are discussed as well as refurbishments of existing systems. Simulations are used to give overview on COP as well as discuss installation costs. A couple of real projects are also given as examples in the field. abstract text is placed here.
