The steady state distributed parameter model of heat exchangers in a heat-pump system was established in this paper. The calculating results of refrigerant quantities in the heat-exchangers show that refrigerant charge quantity in heating operating condition is less than that in refrigeration operating condition. Based on the differences of refrigerant mass flux between refrigeration and heating conditions, the exhaust bypass method to improve the operation efficiency of the heat-pump system was presented. And in order to prevent frosting on the surface of outdoor heat exchanger of the air source heat-pump, the solar energy assisted strategy was also applied in the heat-pump system.

Calculation of refrigerant quantities in the heat-exchangers of an air-conditioner on refrigeration and heating operating conditions shows that refrigerant charge quantity in heating operating condition is less than that in refrigeration operating condition. The refrigerant control strategies are most important for refrigeration and heat-pump system. Based on the difference of charged refrigerant quantities of the air-conditioning system between refrigeration and heating operating conditions, the exhaust bypass method was presented in order to improve its operation efficiency. This heat-pump system for controlling refrigerant mass flux was analyzed in detail. The results show that the exhaust bypass method has its advantages in controlling refrigerant mass flux for heat-pump system.

Composition and operating modes of two different solar-assisted heat pump systems have been introduced in this paper. The advantages of compound heat pump system are analyzed compared with solo heat pump system. Solar-assisted air source heat pump system not only has the advantages, which air source heat pump system (ASHP) has, but also makes good use of renewable solar energy. It can provide cooling, heating and living hot water all the year. Solar-assisted ground source heat pump system realizes advantage complementation in various seasons between solar heat water system and ground source heat pump (GSHP) system. Solar-assisted ground source heat pump system can adjust the system operating model to solve the disadvantage of sole GSHP system, whose performance decrease for the temperature change of soil for long time operating with annual cool and heat unbalancedness. GSHP system can effectively increase the operating stability with the assistance of solar energy.

The simultaneous need for energy efficiency and indoor comfort may not be met by existing air source heat pump (ASHP) technology. The novelty of this study lies in the use of a new gravity-driven radiator as the indoor heating terminal of ASHPs, aiming to provide an acceptable indoor comfort with improved energy efficiency. To confirm and quantify the performance improvement due to the proposed system retrofit, a field test was conducted to examine the system performance under real conditions. In the tests, measurements were made on the refrigerant- and air-side of the system to characterize its operational characteristics. Results showed that the proposed radiator has a rapid thermal response, which ensures a fast heat output from the system. The proposed system can create a stable and uniform indoor environment with a measured air diffusion performance index of 80%. The energy efficiency of the proposed system was also assessed based on the test data. It was found that the system’s first law efficiency is 42.5% higher than the hydraulic-based ASHP system. In terms of the second law efficiency, the compressor contributes the most to the overall system exergy loss. The exergy efficiency of the proposed system increases with the outdoor temperature and varies between 35.02 and 38.93% in the test period. The research results and the analysis methodology reported in this study will be useful for promoting the technology in search of energy efficiency improvement in residential and commercial buildings.
