But Industrial sector still relies heavily on Fossil Fuels..
Energy demand by fuel in selected end-use sectors in India
Source : International Energy Agency
Electrification and Decarbonization of everything (using RE) is the way forward..
– Transportation
– Electric Vehicles instead of IC Engines
– Consumer lifestyle
– Cooking (Appliances like microwave ovens, induction stoves, etc) instead of LPG and biomass
– Cleaning(Washing Machines) instead of manual cleaning
– Industrial – Hot Water generation using Heat Pumps, instead of fossil fuel burners
Decarbonization of Heat –Need for Hot Water(<100 Deg C) in Industrial applications
–Fuels that can be replaced
–Coal –Diesel –Kerosene –LPG –CNG –Electricity (induction based) –LDO
Decarbonization of Heat Fuels that can be replaced
• Coal
• Diesel
• Kerosene
• Liquified Petroleum Gas(LPG)
• Natural Gas
• Electricity (resistance based)
• Furnace Oil

Common Challenges
JJJJ-MM-TT_hh-mmUhr_name of document_abbreveation of the creator.file extension
Common Challenges 1. Design - Sizing
i. Difficulty in finding current energy consumption pattern
2. Operation & Maintenance Challenges
i. Handling of Pretreatment Solutions/Colloidal Solutions
ii. Choking of Heat Exchangers
iii. Oily/Dusty Evaporator Coil
iv. Unbalanced Heating and Cooling Demands
v. Insufficient Flow Rates
Heat Pump Sizing
– Main parameters required for Heat Pump Sizing: a. Fuel Consumption/Electrical Energy Consumption/Water Consumption rate b. Temperature Lift c. Ambient Temperature/Heat Source
– Constraints: a. No record of fuel consumption data b. Ambiguity in production rate c. Difficulty in measuring the above parameters during production hours d. Meeting the same heat transfer rate in the heat exchanger while running the heat pump
O&M Challenges 1. Handling of Pretreatment Solutions/Colloidal Solutions:
i. Pretreatment solutions are difficult to circulate through the heat
exchangers.
ii. Because of the impurities in the solution, frequent cleaning of heat exchangers is required.
2. Choking in Heat Exchangers i. In pretreatment tanks and industrial washers, the dust
particles or impurities in the solution settles over the heat exchanger plates during circulation. Eventually this leads to choking in the heat exchanger.
ii. Physical or chemical cleaning is required depending on the choking level and fluid used.
O&M Challenges
3. Oily/Dusty Evaporator Coil: i. In air source heat pump, Oily/dusty particles over the evaporator coil reduces the heat availability
for the heat pump.
ii. Monthly or Quarterly maintenance is required to have stable heat output.
O&M Challenges
4. Unbalanced Heating and Cooling Demands:
i. Cooling demand is less than Evaporator capacity. Overcooling at the source side will reduce the condenser heat rejection rate.
ii. When connecting heat pump with high capacity chiller, sudden cooling by the chiller on Evaporator will affect the condenser heat rejection rate.
5. Insufficient Flow Rates:
i. Insufficient flow rates will reduce the heat transfer rate.
