Air Source Heat Pump

An air source heat pump system (ASHPS) was set up, which provided space heating and cooling, as well as hot water for an office building in Tianjin. Its operating performance in winter was evaluated based on test data. Considering the local abundant solar radiation and the way to provide energy in an office building, a simulation study was carried out on the combsystem of ASHP and flat plate air collector (FPAC). The effects of collector area and its outlet parameters on the heating performance of ASHP were studied, and the favorable operating and matching mode were recommended. The results indicate that ASHPS is a technically viable method in Tianjin in winter, but not economically, and the air-solar combsystem should be taken into account for its massive replacement for conventional energy.

Heat pumps are commonly used for residential space-heating and cooling. The combination of solar thermal and heat pump systems as a single solar-assisted heat pump (SAHP) system can significantly reduce residential energy consumption in Canada. As a part of Team Ontario’s efforts to develop a high performance house for the 2013 DOE Solar Decathlon Competition, an integrated mechanical system (IMS) consisting of a SAHP was investigated. The system is designed to provide domestic hot water, space-heating, space-cooling and dehumidification. The system included a cold and a hot thermal storage tank and a heat pump to move energy from the low temperature reservoir, to the hot. The solar thermal collectors supplies heat to the cold storage and operate at a higher efficiency due to the heat pump reducing the temperature of the collector working fluid. The combination of the heat pump and solar thermal collectors allows more heat to be harvested at a lower temperature, and then boosted to a suitable temperature for domestic use via the heat pump. The IMS and the building’s energy loads were modeled using the TRNSYS simulation software. A parametric study was conducted to optimize the control, sizing and configuration of the system. This paper provides an overview of the model and summarizes the results of the study. The simulation results suggested that the investigated system can achieve a free energy ratio of about 0.583 for a high performance house designed for the Ottawa climate.

Abstract There have been few practical applications of solar coupled groundwater source heat pump (GWHP) systems in large public buildings, and data on this technology are scarce. A solar coupled GWHP system was investigated in this study. The system uses an underground water source heat pump system for heating in winter, cooling in summer, and providing part of the domestic hot water, and it also uses a solar energy system to prepare domestic hot water. These two types of energy are complementary. The system was tested throughout the cooling season. This experiment ran from May 10, 2021, to September 10, 2021. The results show that the system can guarantee the indoor design temperature and the supply of domestic hot water. The solar water heating system operated for 1233 min in the summer; hot water (2334 m3) was prepared. During the summer, the average energy efficiency ratio of the GWHP unit was approximately 4.88. The energy efficiency ratio of the entire system was approximately 3.34. Such projects can play a key role in demonstrating this type of system.
