| Summary | It is estimated that approximately 30% of the industrial process heat (IPH) requirement, with preheating from 21°C taken into account, is at temperatures below 100°C (which is approximately the upper limit for operation of currently available industrial heat pumps). This low-temperature segment of the IPH spectrum can utilize various alternatives such as fossil fuels, solar only, stand-alone heat pumps, and solar-assested heat pumps (SAHP). The present study is mainly concerned with determining the potential technical and economic merits of SAHP systems (which are high temperature when compared with residential applications) for low-temperature IPH applications. |
