Utilizing water-source heat pump to recycle condensation heat from thermal power plant: A case study

Owing to enormous energy waste from the condensation heat in a thermal power plant, the Guoyang New Energy central heating project utilizes large-scale high temperature water-source heat pump to recover the wasted heat. Presents the characteristics of the condensation heat and the design scheme of the project. The analysis results indicate that the scheme can improve the thermal efficiency of the plant, obtain considerable economic, environmental and social effects, and achieve energy saving and carbon emission reduction.
