“…Usually, heat pumps can upgrade heat having its source at the ambient temperature, but if the process rejects heat at a higher temperature, then the heat pump can be coupled to the process with a higher performance since the temperature lift will be smaller. Kemp (2007) states that the appropriate placement of a heat pump should be across the plant's pinch, however, this is adapted according to the findings of Becker et al (2011) and Thibault et al (2014) to accommodate for pseudo pinch points.…”
