The heating industry urgently needs to reduce CO2 emissions as it transitions towards carbon neutrality.

Abstract
The heating industry urgently needs to reduce CO2 emissions as it transitions towards carbon neutrality. The High-temperature Heat Pump (HTHP) is a promising alternative technology for heating, as it improves energy utilization efficiency and contributes to carbon-neutral electrification. A market overview of the HTHPs and MVR technology is carried out and the key players of the market are identified. The experimental side of the thesis is to optimize a tool developed by Turboden to identify optimal solutions for decarbonizing the medium/high-temperature (100-200°C) heat demand in industrial sectors through Large capacity heat pumps. The main focus is to enhance the Heat pump tool by incorporating new cycle configurations and importing steam tables for accurate simulation of steam generating heat pumps. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis of the "Large heat pump + Mechanical Vapor recompression" solution will be implemented within the tool to determine the optimal transition Temperature from LHP to MVR. To ensure successful completion of the task, several case studies will be analyzed and the results explained.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
