Air Source Heat Pump

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 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.

Positive Effect

The subject of this study is to improve the design of the condenser for an air heat pump system in order to increase the heat exchange of the walls of the collectors (torus) and condenser pipelines with water for the heating circuit and to reduce the energy consumption for its operation. The emergence of the need to improve the existing models is due to the fact that the use in some cases of devices based on Venturi tubes and vortex tubes with reagent supply coaxially or tangentially does not give the desired positive effect. When their geometric parameters change, a decrease in the hydraulic resistance of the fluid and the volume of the working fluid leads to new configurations of the device. In our proposed device, the effect is achieved by reducing the total hydraulic resistance, increasing the efficiency of the heat pump system in a wide temperature range using condensers containing collectors (tori) and a container around the straight-pipe apparatus, where the straight-pipe apparatus together with the container represents a single structure of the “pipe in pipe”.

Floor Heating

In this paper, a novel combined radiation-convection floor heating system is shown. This study uses practice-based learning and investigated the thermal performance of a combined radiation-convection floor heating system with a water heat pump system by evaluating the thermal environment and energy consumption in an experimental test. A new method that analyzed the thermal performance of four different controls was developed and applied. The results of the surface temperature distributions demonstrated that Mode 1, which uses only convection, had the lowest floor temperature and was thus considered inappropriate for occupants who sleep on the floor. By contrast, Modes 2, 3, and 4 showed high floor surface temperatures as hot water was supplied to the radiant heating panel. The predicted mean vote (PMV) results suggest that radiant floor heating is not appropriate for intermittent heating. In other words, occupants of single residences who return home at night will experience a long period of discomfort if they heat their room using floor heating. In this case, Mode 1, which is convection heating, and Modes 3 and 4, which represent mixed modes provide a more comfortable environment. The difference between this experimental study and previous research is that four different control modes for a combined radiation-convection system were evaluated based on the same location of the equipment in a laboratory. Furthermore, we studied the long-term real-scale thermal performance using panel and energy consumption.

Hybrid Heat Pump

Hybrid electric-gas heat pump systems are a possible retrofit option in older residential buildings. Older buildings can be challenging to retrofit and in this context hybrid systems can offer an intermediate route to decarbonisation of building heating energy demand. This is especially the case, where deep retrofit measures coupled with monovalent electric heat pump systems may not be feasible from an economic perspective. The aim of the current paper is to examine the suitability of a hybrid electric-gas heat pump system in comparison to electric heat pump systems as a retrofit measure for Irish housing stock and to benchmark both options against existing fossil fuel baseline systems. A detailed building energy model of a residential dwelling was developed and calibrated to within acceptable ASHRAE standards. An energy assessment was carried out which investigates each retrofit scenario. Key findings include: (i) both the all-electric and hybrid heat pump systems deliver primary energy savings compared to the fossil fuel baseline systems, (ii) hybrid systems attain higher primary energy savings compared to all-electric heat pump, where the hybrid system incorporates flexible delivery temperatures compared to a fixed delivery temperature tor the all-electric heat pump system.
