However, it is preferably connected to the degasifier of the two-component compression heat pump via a closed liquid, preferably water, circuit. If necessary, the heat pump can therefore also be easily removed from the drying circuit, which makes it easier to retrofit existing systems in the manner according to the invention.

• the heat transfer from the air / water heat exchanger 18 to the degasser 32 takes place in the illustrated case via an intermediate water circuit 34, but it can be seen that the air / water heat exchanger 18 with the degasser 32 could also be assembled into a common structural unit , whereby the water cycle would then be omitted.

• the heat of absorption is transferred in the resorber 40 to feed water supplied via a line 52, which is thereby evaporated and is then fed into the process steam line 54 as a low-pressure process steam at a pressure of approximately 3 bar or higher.
• Line 54 leads to paper dryer 14, i.e. is used to heat the drying cylinders, the temperature of the steam entering the cylinders then being 140 ° to 150 ° C., corresponding to the temperature of the process steam of conventional paper machines.

• Branch line 58 is connected to the process steam line 54, the entry of process steam into the air / water heat exchanger being prevented by an upper flow valve 60 which is switched on and normally closed in the branch line. If the paper machine has to be stopped for a short time due to tears in the paper web, ie the steam supply to the paper dryer 14 is switched off, the upper valve 60 is opened by a control device which scans the pressure increase in the process steam line 52 and the process steam generated in the resorber is thus in the air / Water heat exchanger 18 out. As a result, thermal energy is still available for degassing the working medium in the degasser 32 The heat pump 10 is available, which can therefore be operated continuously without the need for an additional steam source. In addition, the process steam can simultaneously remove air on the heat-exchanging surfaces of the heat exchanger during normal operation

• the procedure is such that (in point 1) air with an outside temperature of, for example, 15 ° C. is removed from the ambient atmosphere and heated by the addition of heat (up to point 2), thereby reducing its relative air humidity. With further supply of heat, the air then (up to point 3) absorbs moisture in the paper dryer. By cooling the moist exhaust air from the paper dryer, the relative air humidity of the drying air (up to point 4) increases to 100%, whereby a further decrease in temperature (up to point 5) causes some of the water vapor to condense and accumulate in liquid form. In the state reached in point 5, the drying air, which is still significantly warmed above the ambient temperature, is released into the ambient atmosphere with a relative humidity of 100% as exhaust air.

• Drying air in a closed circuit by avoiding the discharge of water vapor and any other pollutants into the surrounding atmosphere also saves a considerable amount of primary energy to be used because the heat of condensation of the water vapor expelled from the paper web to be dried in the paper dryer 14 completely degasses the two on the low-pressure side Material working fluid of the heat pump 10 is available.
