  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UTILIZATION OF HOT WATER PLANT WASTE HEAT RECOVERY BY INCORPORATED HIGH TEMPERATURE WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP
    Publication number: 20180245800
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for low temperature waste heat utilization. In the scope of the hot water plant (HWP) there are few low temperature sources, which cannot be used by heat consumer (HC) directly.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: August 30, 2018
    Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF MARIBOR
    Inventors: Goricanec DARKO, Jurij KROPE, Stane BOZICNIK
  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COGENERATION POWER PLANT WASTE HEAT SOURCE UTILIZATION BY INCORPORATED WATER SOURCE HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAT PUMP
    Publication number: 20170298866
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for low temperature waste heat utilization. In the scope of the cogeneration unit (CHP) there are few low temperature sources, which cannot be used by heat consumer (HC) directly. Hence, the method and apparatus for cogeneration power plant waste heat recovery comprise at least one, preferably condensing type heat exchanger (HE2), which collects the waste heat for water source high temperature heat pump (HP) employment, wherein its hot water outlet is fed to the internal combustion engine (ICE) cooling system, i.e. cooling jacket type heat exchanger, wherein the maximum allowed coolant inlet temperature is achieved and maintained by automated control system (i.e. control unit with motorized control valves (V1-V3)).
