Wet compression model for entropy production minimization

Compression-resorption heat pumps (CRHP) utilizing wet compression are a very promising option to upgrade waste heat from industry. CRHPs have the potential to have higher coefficient of performance (COP) than the traditionally used vapour-compression heat pumps (VCHP). However, commercial solutions utilizing wet compression are not available...

Enhanced performance of wet compression-resorption heat pumps by using NH₃-CO₂-H₂O as working fluid

Upgrading waste heat by compression resorption heat pumps (CRHP) has the potential to make a strong impact in industry. The efficiency of CRHP can be further improved by using alternative working fluids. In this work, the addition of carbon dioxide to aqueous ammonia solutions for application in CRHP is investigated. The previously published...
