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.

In winter,Many families use air source heat pump because of the low evaporation temperature of the system, resulting in lower heating efficiency of system. To solve this problem, the low temperature solar assisted hot water was added to the project which is on the basis of air source heat pump, and the system has been tested. After analysis of the collection efficiency of solar collectors at low temperatures and comparative analysis of the temperature cycle, pressure, energy consumption of the low-temperature solar-assisted systems and air source heat pump system, the optimal collector temperature and law of heat pump refrigerant cycle changes of the system were obtained. Theoretically, comparative analysis of low temperature air source heat pumps and solar hot water secondary air source heat pump compression ratio and COP. It gives the key parameters affecting the compression ratio and COP, pointing out ways to improve the heat pump COP. Finally, a key measure to improve the thermal performance of the unit system is proposed, to provide a reference for future practical applications and research. Foreword Air source heat pump in ambient air contains rich low grade solar potential as a source of heat, it has inexhaustible characteristics [1] . The main reason for restricting the use of air source heat pump in northern area of our country is when the outdoor air temperature is low in winter, the outdoor coil frost severe heating efficiency air source heat pump is greatly reduced. Martinez suggested experimental study on the application of solar radiant floor heating systems , solar water temperature is 50-60°C, low efficiency, especially when overcast snow lower system efficiency [2] .In view of the outdoor coil frosting problem, direct expansion solar assisted heat pump water heater system using the proposed by Li Yuwu, from a certain extent alleviated the problem of heat in winter for coil winter fros, improving the heating coefficient and improved the operating characteristics of the unit. However, this system requires the direct absorption of heat in air tube, and the specific heat of air is small, difficult to heat storage, illumination by solar radiation impact, unstable system operation [3]. Based on the above issues, for the low-level office building , the new rural residential , this study presents low temperature solar auxiliary air source heat pump system , the device uses low-temperature solar hot water heat pump system as low , both full use of solar energy , but also eliminates the original system frost problems and improve the efficiency of solar collectors and heat set to improve the evaporation temperature of the evaporator , thereby increasing the compression ratio of the heat pump unit .

The discharge of the shower wastewater is not only caused energy waste, but also caused a certain thermal pollution to the environment. The thermoelectric heat pump system, compared with the electric heating device, has a more effective output of heat energy. By recycling heat of shower wastewater, it can be both energy-saving and environmental. With a growing ratio of the energy consumption of hot water, the thermoelectric heat pump system may give us a new perspective in the area of waste heat recovery and energy efficiency in buildings.

Compound condensing heat pump combines the advantages of heat pump technology and condensing heat recovery technology. It takes full account of the common infrastructure in the cooling and heat source system and greatly increases equipment utilization ratio. It also recycles condensing heat to produce sanitary hot water efficiently while ensuring cooling and heating of heat pump to achieve the same effect. The distinctive technical features of the compound condensation / evaporation of four functional heat pump ensure its efficient and reliable operation. This heat pump system runs in several models throughout the year,which include the refrigeration mode, refrigeration&domestic hot water mode, domestic hot water mode and heating mode. The performance in refrigeration mode and refrigeration&domestic hot water mode is studied by a designed experiment is done and the an explicit analysis is made. By comparing the results of simlation and experiment,an agreement can be shown clearly. Therefore,the final conclusion is drawn:the performance of compound condensation / evaporation of four functional heat pump is improved over the traditional heat pump.It is worthy to further promote for the sake of energy saving.
