Integrated High Temperature Heat Pump and Thermal Energy Storage Laboratory Rig – Engineering Considerations and Preliminary Design

Description

The present work introduces the preliminary laboratory design of a flexible process heat generation based on medium 
temperature stream heat upgrade via combination of a high temperature Stirling Cycle heat pump and a latent heat 
thermal energy storage. Heat is upgraded up to 250°C using a high temperature heat pump recovering heat from a 
medium temperature water vector. This heat is then used for charging a thermal energy storage that can be used for 
different industrial heat applications such as, steam production or drying hot air.
