In China, the overall economical performances of heating systems are not very high, there are still some problems of high energy consumption, high gas emission and low heat utilization. The energy conversation and emission reduction are two most important things. The option of the heating system schemes is the key to improve such situation. An optimal heating scheme will be a good beginning to the whole heating system. In this paper, the GRA (Grey Relation Analysis) method is introduced and used, and with the example of a heating district, the most used and upcoming used heating schemes are listed, calculated and compared by using the method of GRA. The option of a heating system scheme is a typical multi-objective decision-making problem. The schemes are the district boiler heating system (including gas-fired, oil-fired, and coal-fired boilers), solar energy heat pump system and combined heating and power system etc. In the process of optimization calculation, the aspects of energy saving, economics benefit, environment benefit and social benefit are concerned about, and the initial cost, operating cost, employment life, environment influence and system reliability are taken into account. According to the calculation results, combined heating and power system is proposed to be optimal heating system scheme.

Frost layer on the outdoor air heat exchanger surface in an air-source heat pump (ASHP) can decrease the system coefficient of performance (COP). Although the common defrosting and anti-frosting methods can improve the COP, the periodic defrosting not only reduces the system energy efficiency but also deteriorates the indoor environment. To solve these problems, it is necessary to clearly understand the frosting phenomenon and to achieve the system frost-free operation. This paper focused firstly on the analyses of frosting pathways and frosting maps. Followed by summarizing the characteristics of frost-free technologies. And then the performances of two types of frost-free ASHP (FFASHP) systems were reviewed, and the exergy and economic analysis of a FFASHP heating system were carried out. Finally, the existing problems related to the FFASHP technologies were proposed. Results show that the existing frosting maps need to be further improved. The FFASHP systems can not only achieve continuous frost-free operation but reduce operating cost. And the total COP of the FFASHP heating system is approximately 30–64% higher than that of the conventional ASHP system under the same frosting conditions. However, the investment cost of the FFASHP system increases, and its reliability also needs further field test in a wider frosting environment. In the future, combined with a new frosting map, the control strategy for the FFASHP system should be optimized.

The innovation of solar water heating system of students living community in Shanghai Ocean University is illustrated in this paper. A new water heating system including solar, air source heat pumps and gas boiler is established owing to the high energy consumption of original system. The comprehensive energy consumption, carbon emission and operating cost comparison between the original and new system is analysed based on the measured water, power and natural gas consumption.

A building heating system had high energy consumption and did not meet the requirements of environmental protection, so it was needed to be reformed. After recalculating the heat load, it was found that the heat source, pipe network specification, and radiator area of the original heating system were oversized. After comparing with a gas-fired boiler, the heat source was transformed into the water source heat pump system. The water supply temperature of the water source heat pump was lower than that of the boiler. Generally, it seemed necessary to increase the radiator area. However, after calculation and verification, when the supply and return water temperature was 65/58°C, the system operated continuously and the original pipe network and radiator could still ensure the indoor temperature of 16°C. The total cost of transformation was 11.5 million Chinese Yuan. After analyzing the operation data of the new system, the water source heat pump system could save 82.6% energy compared with the original system and 29.6% cost compared with the central heating system. The transformation is successful, and the experience is worth popularizing.

Distillation for R-410A reclamation from a waste refrigerant is an energy-intensive process. Thus, various heat pump configurations were proposed to enhance the energy efficiency of existing conventional distillation columns for separating R-410A and R-22. One new heat pump configuration combining a vapor compression (VC) heat pump with cold water and hot water cycles was suggested for easy operation and control. Both advantages and disadvantages of each heat pump configuration were also evaluated. The results showed that the mechanical vapor recompression heat pump with top vapor superheating saved up to 29.5%, 100.0%, and 10.5% of the energy required in the condenser duty, reboiler duty, and operating cost, respectively, compared to a classical heat pump system, and 85.2%, 100.0%, and 60.8%, respectively, compared to the existing conventional column. In addition, this work demonstrated that the operating pressure of a VC heat pump could be lower than that of the existing distillation column, allowing for an increase in capacity of up to 20%. In addition, replacing the throttle valve with a hydraulic turbine showed isentropic expansion can decrease the operating cost by up to 20.9% as compared to the new heat pump configuration without a hydraulic turbine. Furthermore, the reduction in carbon dioxide emission was investigated to assess the environmental impact of all proposed sequences.

The series solar-assisted heat pump heating system with ground-coupled storage in The University of Tennessee’s TECH House I in Knoxville, Tennessee, has been modeled using TRNSYS/GROCS and was compared to the experimental performance for the 1980–81 heating season. The simulation results were within 8 percent of the experimental measurements. Both simulation and experimental results showed that ground coupling of thermal storage led to the elimination of electric resistance backup heat and a large reduction in the peak heating demand of the house. Results of a parametric study showed that, in general, a ground-coupled storage tank performs better than a storage tank placed outdoors in the Knoxville area. Application of a next generation heat pump resulted in the most significant impact on the seasonal performance factor. As expected, higher performance collectors and larger collector areas led to higher system seasonal performance. An economic analysis showed that the series solar heat pump system cannot economically compete with the stand-alone heat pump system in the Knoxville area.

In this paper, the mathematical models of a GCHP system and a Ground-couple heat pump system with air-soil thermal storage (GCHPASTS) were developed, and the 20-year performances of the two systems were simulated in severe cold area of china, respectively. The results show that the soil temperature declines gradually during the operation of a GCHP system, which leads to the decrease of the coefficient of performance (COP) and the heating effect of the heat pump year after year. On the contrary, the balance of ground thermal load can be realized during the operation of a GCHPASTS system, and the heating performance of heat pump is stable and efficient for long time. So, it can be proved that a GCHP system cant be used for heating alone, while a GCHPASTS system is feasibility.
