Abstract

Abstract Significant thermal resources in the form of low temperature industrial waste heat, between 211 to 528 trillion kJ (200 and 500 trillion BTU’s) per annum, have the potential to drive absorption heat pumps. The proposed vortex generator permits a practical heat pump to operate efficiently with as much as 20 to 30°C below the boiling temperature of water (70–80°C (158–176°F)). Energy flows and auxiliary power requirements are computed. The system is shown to operate with relatively low temperature waste heat with higher specific capacity than conventional systems.
