Initial heat pump concepts and integration principles for SHIP200 targeting heat delivery up to 200 °C (steam cycle) and 250 °C (e.g. CO2 cycle)

Development of steam and reversed CO2 Brayton heat pump concepts for optimum cycle performance and total system integration. The work will be performed conceptually by developing and utilizing in-house modelling tools for process simulation. Critical parameters like system performance as function of temperature lift and heat source temperature as well as system size will be determined. The integration of the heat pump into the main system will be evaluated and different concepts will be compared. The Technological Readiness Level, system size, costs, efficiency, performance and operational stability will be the key elements to analyse. Task T3.1
