Open-cycle centrifugal vapor-compression heat pump. Annual report, March 1984-February 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6349398
; ;
The objectives of the program are to (1) 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) demonstrate the energy saving and cost benefits of driving the compressor with a natural-gas-fueled gas turbine engine. The turbine exhaust will be used for final drying of the product that was evaporated. This report describes the design and fabrication of the system and the test activities through February 1985.
