Synopsis

Heat pumps allow the reuse of what might otherwise be waste heat by upgrading such energy to useful temperature levels. Industrial applications to evaporation, distillation and drying are briefly described, together with heat pumps' place within process integration, using examples from the Scottish distilling industries. It is shown that heat pumps are another tool available for energy use optimisation.
