Industrial Heat Pumps for Steam and Fuel Savings - Quiz

Quiz Question

1. Industrial heat pumps are a class of active heat-recovery equipment that allows the temperature of a waste-heat stream to be increased to a higher and a more useful temperature.
True
False
2. A heat pump is a device that can increase the temperature of a waste-heat source to a temperature where the waste heat becomes useful. This waste heat can replace purchased energy and reduce energy costs.
True
False
