In heat pump assisted distillation, the working fluid can either be one of the components of the mixture to be distilled or it can be an external working fluid. The operating parameters of more than thirty potential heat pump assisted distillation systems have been listed. A detailed assessment can only be made if detailed thermodynamic data are available. A set of criteria has been prescribed for the choice of an appropriate mode for a particular application.
