MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517045984 A) filed by Lubbers FTS Gmbh, Bad Langensalza, Germany, on May 13, for 'heat pump device for energy-efficient generation of a process heat, dryer device for drying material to be dried, and method for operating a heat pump device.'

Inventor(s) include Feuerriegel, Bernd.

The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a heat pump device for the energy-efficient generation of a process heat with a cyclical process fluid, an evaporator and at least one compressor, wherein the heat pump device has a first mixing separator in a second pressure stage, wherein the first mixing separator has a first connection for the inlet of vaporous cyclical process fluid, a second connection for the inlet of condensed cyclical process fluid and a third connection for the outlet of vaporous cyclical process fluid and a second compressor is connected downstream of the mixing separator, so that outgoing vaporous cyclical process fluid can be compressed in the second compressor from the second pressure stage to a first pressure stage and that cyclical process fluid condensed in a heat exchanger for transferring process heat to at least one assignable heat sink can be fed back into the first mixing separator of the second pressure stage, wherein at the same time vaporous cyclical process fluid from the first compressor can be fed into the mixing separator, and the at least first mixing separator has a fourth connection for the outlet of condensed cyclical process fluid, so that the condensed cycle process fluid which emerges can be fed back directly or indirectly into the evaporator and/or can be fed to the at least second compressor. The invention further relates to a dryer device and to a method for operating a heat pump device."

The patent application was internationally filed on Oct. 06, 2023, under International application No.PCT/DE2023/200208.
