Economic Aspects Of Utilizing Heat Transformer Technology

Johan Enslin

Heat Transformer technology (HT-technology), although commercially available, is relatively unknown. The fact that HT-technology use only ~ 1% of the electricity of the conventional vapor compression (VC)-technology for the same heat load, drive rapid revolutionary new heat recovery possibilities, however. Some advances in heat transformer development open new doors for lowering the cost of air conditioning (A/C), water pumping and extraction (de-humidification) from the air, as well as power generation by combining with Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC), from utility scale down to micro-scale of a few for single household use. This paper try to realistically present cost calculations based on cost correlations for process components often used in the literature for estimating overall system costs.
