Title: Symmetrical intermediate Storage Devices for Heat Pumps with Cyclical Drainage into a Main System

Patent No.: PCT/EP2010/004887, CN Application No.: 201080037369.X, WO 2011/023289 A2

Patentee: Dr.-Ing. Michael Loeffler

Abstract: Heat pumps and refrigerating machines operate optimally if the temperature difference of the connected heat sources and heat sinks is as small as possible. If this is not the case, there are two negative effects: At a high spread, increased dissipation occurs in the condensers and evaporators. In order to increase spread, the heat return flow is frequently mixed with the heat pump flow. For this purpose, hydraulic separators and overflow valves are employed. This results in highly dissipative mixing of heat carrier medium with differing temperatures. Using a pair of intermediate storage means, the dissipation that occurs can be drastically reduced. The low spread of the heat pump is adjusted to the high spread of the remaining system. The COP of the system is substantially improved. With heat pumps, the improvement ranges from about 5% to 50%.
