  • Using heat from low-temperature energy sources by means of a high-temperature heat pump [Elektronski vir]
    Jotanović, Milovan ...
    In the paper '' Using Heat from Low-Temperature Energy Sources by means of a High-Temperature Heat Pump'' the authors have synthesized the results of their researches into exploiting heat from ... low-temperature energy sources (geothermal water, waste heat from process industry,...) They have presented method for obtain a clean energy for heating residential units using high-temperature heat pumps which use different refrigerants (working fluids) in their operation. These pumps developed with the development of an innovative idea in 2010 and they use heat from low-temperature secondary energy sources (45%C) for district heating of residential units with the temperature of 90/70%C. A series of refrigerants which can be used as working fluids in these pumps were analyzed. The paper presents a mathematical model for a single stage heat pump which the authors use for determining performance characteristics of the heat pump, together with a simulation of the operation of the pump using two different mixtures of working fluids. The authors show in detail the mutual dependences among the key performance characteristics of a high temperature heat pump and they determine the optimal type of a high temperature heat pump as well as of the refrigerant. They also present the working conditions of this pump (evaporation temperature, condensation temperature) at which its operation is financially justifiable.
