Abstract

The cumulative exergy method is used to analyze and optimize a heat pump distillation process with respect to the total environmental impact including resource use and emissions. The results from the proposed method are compared with the ones from thermoeconomics. It is found that such an extended exergy analysis offers a new insight and permits the identification of solutions which are more stable in time and independently of economic conditions.
