Abstract
Low-temperature heat sources are available in many applications, ranging from waste heat from marine
diesel engines, industries and refrigeration plants to biomass, geothermal and solar heat sources. There is a
great potential for enhancing the utilization of these heat sources by novel thermodynamic cycle and cycle
design, and use of multi-component working fluids. These advancements will not only improve the
performance of existing technologies, but also enable the utilization of low temperature heat sources,
which are currently not utilized due to technical or economical infeasibility.Both power production and
heat pumps may benefit from the development as both technologies utilize a heat source. This makes it
possible to cover the complete temperature range of low temperature sources. The development may
contribute to significantly lower energy consumption in Danish industry and shipping. This will provide the
scientific basis and devise potential innovations needed for implementation of technologies utilizing lowtemperature
energy sources in Denmark. Thereby, contributing to the development of the future society
with no use of fossil fuels and with high shares of intermittent, renewable energy sources with electricity
being the main energy carrier.
