The problems in matching a heat driven heat transformer to a distillation process in heat pump assisted distillation are discussed. The performance of such a system is a function of the temperature difference across the distillation column. Plots are given of the calculated coefficients of performance against the temperatures of the top and bottom products. In addition plots are given of the calculated coefficients of performance against the generator temperature when the generator is independently heated. The percentage of energy saved is also plotted against coefficient of performance.
