Open-cycle centrifugal vapor-compression heat pump. Final report, January 1986-May 1987
Abstract
The objectives of the program were (1) to develop an open-cycle, high-lift, centrifugal steam-compressor system that can be efficiently retrofitted to existing multi-effect and high-temperature differential evaporators while maintaining the cost benefits of a single-stage centrifugal compressor, and (2) to demonstrate the energy saving and cost benefits of driving the compressor with a natural-gas-fueled gas-turbine engine. The turbine exhaust was to be used for final drying of the product that was evaporated. The report describes the installation of the system and the test activities through May 1987.
