Ground-Source Heat Pump systems and tower cooling system have been studied in this paper individually by experiment and simulation using TRNSYS, the influencing factors such as meteorological parameter, cooling tower and subunit construction was analyzed. Results show that the combined system has ability to meet the cooling requirements in II building climate zones, the combined system will have energy-saving and obvious economic benefits by working through the year.

The majority of the single-family houses in Sweden are affected by deteriorations in building envelopes as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. These dwellings are, therefore, in need of extensive renovation, which provides an excellent opportunity to install renewable energy supply systems to reduce the total energy consumption. The high investment costs of the renewable energy supply systems were previously distinguished as the main barrier in the installation of these systems in Sweden. House-owners should, therefore, compare the profitability of the energy supply systems and select the one, which will allow them to reduce their operational costs. This study analyses the profitability of a ground source heat pump, photovoltaic solar panels and an integrated ground source heat pump with a photovoltaic system, as three energy supply systems for a single-family house in Sweden. The profitability of the supply systems was analysed by calculating the payback period (PBP) and internal rate of return (IRR) for these systems. Three different energy prices, three different interest rates, and two different lifespans were considered when calculating the IRR and PBP. In addition, the profitability of the supply systems was analysed for four Swedish climate zones. The analyses of results show that the ground source heat pump system was the most profitable energy supply system since it provided a short PBP and high IRR in all climate zones when compared with the other energy supply systems. Additionally, results show that increasing the energy price improved the profitability of the supply systems in all climate zones.

Based on kind of medium-sized ground source heat pump incubator condenser’s design and research, incubator can get good uniformity temperature filed. Incubation experiments showed that the incubator reached the national key performance indicators. Compared with the traditional way of heating incubation, the experiment got a high rate of hatchability and child health. Energy saving effect is remarkable and achieve good social and economic benefits.
