Method used

A heat pump distillation system suitable for phase change working fluids is adopted. After the compressor heats and pressurizes the distillate, the heat is released in the condenser to recover the low-temperature heat at the top of the column. The heat is then depressurized through a throttling valve and returned to the condensing system, thus realizing the recycling of heat.

Benefits of technology

It saves on the consumption of low-pressure steam and circulating water, reduces operating costs, and improves energy efficiency.
