Absorption heat pump

If an economizer (ECO) and an absorption heat pump are also integrated into a heating plant, an additional heat yield is possible and fuel consumption is reduced accordingly. For hot water boilers (105 °C flow temperature), this means an increase in efficiency of approx. 20 percentage points, which corresponds to an additional heat yield of 20 - 25 %. For a hot water boiler requiring testing (150 °C flow temperature), a further 5 - 10 percentage points increase in efficiency can be generated. This corresponds to an additional heat yield of 30 - 40 %.

Your advantages

  • High increase in efficiency and performance from a single source
  • Reduction in heat generation costs
  • Significant increase in the degree of biomass utilization
  • 20 - 40 % more heat from the same amount fuel - Increased output of the heating plant without expanding the silo
  • Low additional maintenance and servicing costs
  • High partial load capacity of the absorption heat pump (up to 10 % of nominal output)
  • Stromverbrauch < 1 % der Wärmeleistung der Absorptionswärmepumpe (Kompressionswärmepumpen > ca. 25 %)
  • Safe operating materials Water and lithium bromide salt
  • Operation of the absorption heat pump in negative pressure: No media escape in the event of leakage
  • Conserving resources by reducing biomass consumption
  • Reduction of visible vapor clouds at Stack through efficient flue gas condensation
  • Quiet operation of the heat pump

Advantages of an absorption heat pump

Retrofitting existing heating plants

Wood-fired heating plants that are already equipped with a flue gas condensation system can be retrofitted and benefit from the use of the new "Revolution adaptive" combustion control system and an absorption heat pump.
