In order to increase drying rate at initial stage, the heat pump drying systems often lift temperature of the drying air assisted with electrical heating. However, power consumption of drying systems is raised. By taking advantage of an auxiliary evaporator and adjusting its fluid fluxes, the heat pump drying systems can acquire the same results of lifting temperature as those assisted with electrical heating. Experiment results demonstrate that the heat pump unit with an auxiliary evaporator is able to not only lift temperature quickly at initial drying stage, but also enhance the material dehumidification obviously when drying temperature ranges from 40°C to 55°C.

This study is part 2 of the investigation on the exergetic and exergoeconomic parameters of an existing system with an air-to-water heat pump unit as a heat source. Part 1 presents the used experimental setup. The main aim of the conducted experimental tests is to develop models of produced heat rate and energetic COP at different ambient conditions. The obtained data is used in Part 2 of the study where the exergetinc and exergoeconomic assessment is carried out. The exergetic and exergoeconomic analysis was performed at dynamically changing ambient parameters. The considered operation modes of the air-to-water heat pump (AWHP) unit and backup heater (BUH) were evaluated based on Seasonal Exergetic Efficiency. For the exergoeconomic analysis, the SPECO method is used. Thus, this paper provides an exhaustive understanding of the exergy and exergoeconomic performance of the considered air-to-water heat pump system.

Based on experiment of GSHP system in summer season, the temperature distribution of humid soil around the vertical boreholes, the power consumption of the heat pump unit, the water temperature in the inlet and outlet of the underground heat exchangers, the heat release rate of per unit length of the buried pipes in humid soil and the cooling coefficient of performance (COP) for the heat pump unit were acquired during the different intermittent heat storage modes. This study investigated the impact of soil temperature change around the borehole wall on the performance of heat pump operation, the influence of intermittent heat storage on the soil temperature near the borehole wall and the performance of heat pump unit, and the effect of intermittent heat storage process on the recovery rate of soil temperature. The results showed that proper control of the operation and interval time of GSHP can effectively improve the soil temperature field around the underground heat exchangers and enhance the performance of GSHP system, thus achieving high efficiency operation of heat pump units.

Nowadays the energy crisis has been more and more severe all over the world. In China there is enormous energy source, but due to the large number of population, the average possession of the total energy is lower, and the energy supply is relatively less. Enormous energy consumption of air conditioning systems in the residential buildings makes the energy conservation more important. The residential central air conditioning systems are being widely used due to its advantages of easy control and low operating cost. But there are still many problems to be resolved, of which the energy consumption of the residential central air-conditioning systems is a hot issue. The main cold and heat sources for residential central air conditioning systems are air-cooled heat pump unit, household gas air conditioning unit, air-cooled chiller unit/gas-fired boiler and water loop heat pump unit. The terminal facilities suited for the anterior three units are the fan coil units, and the terminal of the last water loop heat pump unit is normally indoor unit. The combined utilization of the heat and cold source units with their terminal units keep the indoor environment in desired state all the year. In this paper, based on an actual example, the basic principles of four systems mentioned above are outlined and analyzed, and four schemes are compared. By using the method of equivalent weight full load operation time, the annual energy consumptions of the four schemes are calculated and analyzed. Comparing the annual primary energy consumption of four schemes, the following conclusions can be drawn: in the case studied, the energy consumption of the household gas-fired air conditioning unit with fan coil system is the maximum, the consumption of the air-cooled chiller unit/gas-fired boiler with fan coil system is the next, then is the air-cooled heat pump with fan coil system, and that of the water loop heat pump system is the minimum. It can be observed that the water loop heat pump system is the optimal one and is the best on energy conservation. Through the study of this paper, the minimum energy consumption system is chosen so as to give the references for the energy savings of air-conditioning systems in the practice.

In summer the cooling heat of air source heat pump could be recovered to improve the stability of solar hot water collector and the COP of the air source heat pump unit is greatly improved. The performance of solar assisted air source heat pump unit is better than that of with no solar assisted air source heat pump.

The present work investigated a solar assisted heat pump system for drying Chinese wolfberry. The kinetic characteristic was firstly analyzed through a series of lab experiments. It was concluded that the Page model was the most suitable for predicting the heat and mass transfer of the wolfberry. Based on the wolfberry kinetic model, solar collector model and chamber air model, the coupled drying system model was developed. The accuracy of the mathematic model was determined through comparing with the preliminary experimental results. The influence of operating conditions on the thermal and energy performance of the dryer for the different operating mode was discussed. The drying weight of no more than 75 kg may be preferable in the stand-alone solar drying mode, and less than 15 h was needed to be dried. The electric energy consumption in the solar assisted the heat pump drying mode was lower than that in the stand-alone heat pump mode, and it was recommended that about 50 kg of wolfberry to be dried in the solar assisted heat pump system. Compared to the autumn drying, the reduction in the electric energy consumption was around 9.1 kWh during the 11 h summer drying process. The obtained results demonstrated the feasibility of the combined system for drying wolfberry, and also can provide the basic theoretical and experimental data support for the following research.
