Abstract

High-temperature steam is a vital energy for heating, washing, drying, and other industrial processes primarily generated by special coal-fired boilers. The heat pump coupled with the steam compressor is a promising steam generation system due to its high efficiency, high heating temperature, and low pollution. In this paper, a mathematical model of a waste heat source heat pump industrial steam generation system (WHPSG) is developed. The system performance is analyzed using energy, exergy, economy, and environment methods when R245fa, R600, and R601 are selected. The results demonstrate better overall system performance at high waste heat temperature and low condensing temperature than at low waste heat or high condensing temperature. Compared to R245fa and R600, the COP_sys using R601 increased by 3.4% and 3.8%, and power consumption per unit mass flow rate of steam decreased by 3.3% and 3.7. The condensing temperature influences system performance obviously, while the heat pump compressor and steam compressor account for a large percentage of exergy destruction. The system with R601 has the largest total exergy efficiency, which is higher than R245fa and R600 by about 3.0% and 3.2% respectively. The good economic and environmental benefits showed it can be used for steam generation.

期刊介绍： The journal Energy Conversion and Management provides a forum for publishing original contributions and comprehensive technical review articles of interdisciplinary and original research on all important energy topics. The topics considered include energy generation, utilization, conversion, storage, transmission, conservation, management and sustainability. These topics typically involve various types of energy such as mechanical, thermal, nuclear, chemical, electromagnetic, magnetic and electric. These energy types cover all known energy resources, including renewable resources (e.g., solar, bio, hydro, wind, geothermal and ocean energy), fossil fuels and nuclear resources.
