The Unusual Uses of a Heat Pump

• Heat pumps are a well-known technology which has
  been widely used for heating as well as for
  cooling. However, the heat pumps are the
  mechanical devices that are used to transfer heat
  by extracting low-grade heat from any source and
  then upgrading that heat to deliver a high
  temperature.
• The primary function of heat pumps is to provide
  heating whereas the reverse cycle heat pumps are
  used to provide both heating and cooling. And, as
  we told heat pumps are used in recovering waste
  heat by raising its temperature to a useful
  level, this makes it significantly potential for
  saving energy.
• The uses of heat pumps Ireland can be classified
  under two categories
• Residential Uses
• Industrial Uses
• Residential Uses
• Residential uses have been always found to be a
  successful location to implement the popular
  application of heat pumps especially where a
  large variety of systems exist. However, it
  depends in the part on

• Whether the heat pumps are intended for both
  heating and cooling purpose or only for heating
  purpose.
• And, on the nature of the low/medium temperature
  heat source which is for distributing heat to
  the building.
• However, residential uses are common, but did you
  know the heat pumps also have industrial
  applications as well. And heat pumps are used in
  the following industries.
• Industrial Uses
• Paper industry
• In the paper industry at the time of production,
  paper making emits CO2 which can result in high
  carbon emission. Therefore, heat pumps are used
  in paper industry to help you getting minimum
  carbon emission while letting you achieve
  sustainability.
• So, heat pumps are used to help in the
  concentration of black liquor, water heating,
  flash-steam recovery, and product drying in the
  pulp/paper/lumber manufacturing industry.

2. Food and beverages industry Heat pumps in
the food industry are used to save the costs
which are generally spent on gas. Hence, in the
food and beverage industry, heat pumps help in
the process of beer brewing as well as to
concentrate the waste beer. However, it doesnt
help only to concentrate waste beer but it also
helps in concentrating the liquid products in
the dairy industry. Hence, the heat pumps in the
food and beverage industry are most important
because theyre not only a source of cost-saving
but they are also an environment-friendly
resource.
3. Chemical industry . In the manufacturing of
chemical salts, heat pumps work as a savior in
the process of concentrating salt solutions. In
fact, heat pumps are also useful in the treatment
of the effluent process. However, the rotation
heat pumps are more advantageous and efficient in
the production process in the chemical industry
especially the one which requires hot water with
cold water being used as a source.

This is because the conventional heat pumps cant
help the chemical industries achieve this.
Therefore, instead of generating heat and cold
separately, in this industry a rotation heat pump
is used.

• Apart from the above mentioned industries, the
  heat pumps are used in the following industries
  as well
• Automotive and mechanical industry,
• Textile industry,
• Metal industry,
• Wood Industry etc.
