<p>A novel combination of a fractionating column (1) and a closed cycle absorption heat pump is provided. The heat pump comprises an absorber (5) for supplying energy to a reboiler (4) from the heat of absorption of a liquid portion of the working fluid in the cycle, a generator (10) for regenerating the fluid; a condenser (14) for condensing low pressure gaseous working fluid desorbed in (10) and which also supplies heat to column (1) via reboiler (15); an expansion valve (16) and evaporator (17) for evaporating and thereby cooling desorbed working fluid; a reflux condenser (2) for condensing overhead vapors from (1) by the cooling provided by evaporating working fluid.</p> |
