Absorption heat pump
If an active flue gas condensation system with an absorption heat pump is integrated into a heating plant, additional heat can be extracted. This leads to increased heat output from the heating plant with the same fuel consumption, or to reduced fuel consumption with the same heat output. For warm water boilers (105 °C supply temperature), this means an efficiency increase of approximately 20 percentage points, which corresponds to an additional heat yield of 20–25%. In the case of a hot water boiler subject to testing (150 °C supply temperature), a further 5–10 percentage points of efficiency increase can be generated. This corresponds to an additional heat yield of 30–40%.
