Heat recovery from waste water by energy saving heat pump systems. Final report
Waste heat from industrial cooling water and municipal waste water represents a major source to be utilized for large-scale heating systems in addition to the well-documented exploitation of environmental heat sources for heat recovery by heat pumps. An added benefit to the community from the resulting heat impoverished waters would accrue from the reduction of heat pollution of receiving waters. Problems connected with the heat recovery from waste waters by heat pumps are discussed and solutions are suggested. They concern the removal of solids, the choice of a heat exchanger type with means for cleansing deposits, the design of a heat transport system and maintenance of the temperature level, the choice of prime movers and compressors, and the utilization of the recovered solids.
