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.
