The Potential of Vapor Compression Heat Pumps Supplying Process Heat between 100 and 200 °C in the Chemical Industry

The supply of process heat in the chemical industry is dominated by fossil fuel combustion. Heat with temperatures up to 200 °C could, however, be supplied by vapor compression heat pumps (VCHPs), allowing for efficient electrification. However, there are still several barriers that need to be overc...
