Heat recovery and promotion is essential to decarbonization, and chemical heat pumps based on reversible organic reactions can aid to fulfil this. This paper studied the isopropanol/acetone/hydrogen (IAH) and the tert-butanol/isobutene/water (tB/iB) systems regarding their performance and economic competitiveness through simulation and found that the IAH presents satisfactory performance and has the potential to be a very promising solution in increasing the overall energy efficiency while also preventing the emission of massive amounts of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases released during energy production and transformation. This system presents enough arguments to become a very successful solution if proper politico-economic support and incentives are established and put into practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
