Industrial Heat Pumps
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Industrial heat pumps are a class of active
heat-recovery equipment that allows the temperature of a waste-heat stream to be
increased to a higher, more useful temperature. Consequently, heat pumps can
facilitate energy savings when conventional passive-heat recovery is not
possible.
In
this course the student will learn why heat pumps save money, how heat pumps
work, how much energy heat pumps can save, common types of heat pumps, heat pump
applications and examples of heat-pump applications.
The
student is expected to read and review the material contained in A best
Practices Steam Technical Brief, Industrial Heat Pumps for Steam and Fuel
Savings, DOE/GO-102003-1735 – June 2003.
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
