<p>Heat recuperation device, for use during the operation of a heat pump system, with an evaporator (14) in the form of an air-, water- or earth-collector, and an internal combustion engine (2) as the driving mechanism. Exhaust fumes from the internal combustion engine (2) are subsequently combusted in a separate combustion unit (3). The heat released by the internal combustion engine (2) as well as that released by the subsequent combustion of exhaust fumes from said engine, is transferred through the heat pump system (5, 6) to a pre-heated thermal energy carrier, particularly water in a heating system or similar. To this purpose, heat exchangers (4, 15) are allocated to the internal combustion engine (2) and the combustion unit (3). Future plans include measures (exhaust coolers 7, 8, 9) for cooling exhaust fumes released into the atmosphere.</p> |
