 Abstract

Industrial processes are estimated to be responsible for about 20 % of the total greenhouse gas emissions within the European Union (EU). The majority of the industrial energy demand is related to the thermal energy required for process heating. Thus, there is a need to make radical changes to the industrial heating supply to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions. In this regard, high-temperature heat pump systems are being studied as an alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based systems. This project focuses on the modeling and analysis of thermodynamic characteristics of the two heat pump concepts, namely, reverse Rankine cycle based and reverse Brayton cycle-based systems. Both heat pump concepts are compared for high-temperature applications in terms of performance, design feasibility of the key components, and ease of integration with industrial processes.
