Open absorption heat pump (OAHP) system is more viable option to recover waste heat from moist gas as compared to the traditional condensation methods. This promising technology has great potential for latent heat recovery from moist gas, drying process in paper and other industrial heating applications. This study presents the process modelling and comparative analysis of OAHP system in Aspen Plus using two different solutions by adopting part regeneration technique. The promising potassium formate-water (HCOOK/H2O) which has lower causticity, lower costs and better crystallization characteristics is used as an alternative to the caustic lithium bromide-water (LiBr/H2O) solution in this study. Process model of the system is established in Aspen Plus and, the properties validity is confirmed with published experimental and Engineering Equation Solver (EES) library data. A detailed comparative parametric study is carried out to evaluate the effect of influencing parameters on coefficient of performance (COP), water recovery (φ) and heat recovery (ζ) efficiencies. The performance of OAHP system is found to be very similar using different concentrations as 2.13 COP value for 50% LiBr/H2O and 2.19 for 70% HCOOK/H2O solution over design conditions. Similarly, φ is found to be 0.701, 0.688 while ζ as 0.716 and 0.705 for both the absorbents. Moreover, the system’s operational concentration range is 45-61.3% for LiBr/H2O and 55-82.1% for HCOOK/H2O at 135 °C regeneration heat input. Potassium formate solution having quite similar properties to the aqueous lithium bromide is also confirmed to have similar performance trends using 50% and 70% concentrations.

A large number of cooling water exists in chemical plant, use water source heat pump and lithium bromide absorption heat pump system to achieve water cooling instead of cooling tower, at the same time, extract heat for building cooling and heating. Respectively introduced the summer cooling system and winter heating system, and a feasibility analysis was carried out. The conclusion is get: water source heat pump system and lithium bromide absorption heat pump system for cooling water waste heat recovery is certain feasibility; the environment optimization can be achieved in chemical plant, at the same time, energy conservation and emission reduction is realized.

It is the new way of the thermal power plant energy conservation to recycling plant circulating water waste heat for heating with the heat pump technology. The recovery of low temperature waste heat is the background. And lithium bromide absorption heat pump is the object of this study. The impact of changes in temperature parameters on the performance of heat pump unit is analyzed. As a theoretical basis for the design of the heat pump system and power plant heat pump unit’s optimal operation provide a reference. The result provides a theoretical reference for the optimal operation of the heat pump system design and power plant heat pump units.
