Energy advantages of application of steam compressor heat pumps with electric and cogeneration drives

Abstract

Energy advantages of steam compressor heat pumps (HP) with electric and cogeneration drives has been considered. The presented results of research allow to evaluate the economy of equivalent fuel due to application of steam compressor heat pumps (HP) with electric and cogeneration drives for various operation modes of HP and enable to select efficient operation modes of steam compressor HP taking into account the impact of the sources of drive energy of steam compressor HP and taking into consideration energy losses of the process of generation, supply and transformation of electric energy.
