Why do we need Low-lift Heat Pumps?In many applications a temperature lift of 10–30 K is sufficient.
Standard HPs § are designed for higher lifts and § exhibit poor Carnot efficiencies if they are
operated at low lifts.
The potential for high efficient heating/cooling systems is not fully exploited!
Goal:Development of heat pumps and chillers specifically designed for low temperature lifts.

§ Considerable energy savings by consistent use of low temperature lifts
§ Standard HPs cannot exploit the efficiency potential § HP must be specifically designed for these conditions
§ Experimental results for Turbo-HP:§ building heating: COP > 9 for lift of 20 K, § building cooling: COP > 15 for lift of 10 K, § with Carnot efficiencies > 60%
§ Mandatory requirement: suitable low-lift building technology systems are needed!
