Abstract: In order to evaluate the effect of the absorption heat pump used in heating units, an energy-saving computing model of the absorption heat pump is established and the efficiency of the system with the absorption heat pump is calculated and analyzed for a 300-MW heat supply unit. The results show that the extraction steam from the unit can be saved substantially assuming the same heating load if the absorption heat pump is installed. Therefore, the benefit of installing the pump generally comes from the power generation increase of the steam turbine rather than the heat simply recovered.

Key words: absorption heat pump, heating unit, extraction steam, economics
