Description

Low-grade heat is available everywhere and sometimes in large quantities; consequently, the valorization of this heat seems to be attractive in terms of economics. We will discuss the issue first from a theoretical point of view; then some examples will be given, namely using waste heat from engines for intake air cooling, the Honigmann process for storing and conversion of low-grade heat, and recent developments of absorption chillers.
