Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• R-718-based HTHPs deliver COPs of 1.3–6.0 for 130–250 °C outputs temperatures. • Water injection boosts compressor isentropic efficiency up to 80%. • Cascade systems with R-718 and low-GWP refrigerants enable 180 K temperature lifts. • Multi-stage configurations improve COP and capacity for large-scale applications. • R-718 outperforms HFCs, HFOs, and hydrocarbons at high condensation temperatures. • Payback period estimated at 2–3 years for typical industrial settings.
