    System transmits. Heat pumps are used for heating purposes. The primary application is heat pump heating for heating buildings, drinking water heating, generating process heat and use in tumble dryers. The heat pump cycle is also used for cooling (e.g. in refrigerators or air conditioning). In contrast to the heat pump, the cooling process...

    President of the EU Commission, everyone who is otherwise so eloquent has so far remained silent on this proposal. The following detailed description shows how dangerous the situation is... * Solar thermal energy | Process heat | inexpensive "Solar thermal energy can provide a significant part of the industrial process heat" In industry, heat generation is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels. That is...

    in our region: "It is of interest to our neighbor Poland to consider a pebble bed reactor in the triangle of Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany. The process heat from the reactor could be used there to enable carbon dioxide-free refining of the domestic brown coal from the local mining area." A brilliant performance of subtle, strange demagoguery took place on the 27th...

    PBMR in Koeberg near Cape Town will not be built, although the fuel element factory, in which several German companies contributed, was already completed. A reorientation towards nuclear process heat was brought into play -- in cooperation with the USA (7). After the election on April 22, 2009 in South Africa, the PBMR group considered whether the money might still be used for...

    built in the United States. Their design largely follows an idea from Germany." What is remarkable about these statements is the rehashing of the age-old thesis that the HTR could be considered as a user of process heat. Incidentally, the Jülich Research Center (FZJ) has been conducting research in a fuel cell laboratory since 1966. According to the VDI news from March 05.03.2004, XNUMX is part of the...

    'Fourth generation reactors' could come into commercial use in 4 to 20 years. In the longer term, they are intended to complement the existing reactor lines and open up new fields of application such as process heat, drinking water production from seawater and hydrogen production. (...) In Germany, around 30 employees work in this field (energy technology, RB) for the AREVA Group, of which...

    As is well known, the Swedish-Swiss company Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) and its subsidiary "HTR-GmbH" (Mannheim) researched the HTR 500 and later the "HTR module and nuclear process heat" project until at least 1992. And what wasn't there closer than holding out a hand to the Swiss taxpayer? The Berner Zeitung (BZ) reported on June 12.06.1986, 1973: "From 1982 to XNUMX the federal government was...
