This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combination of heat pumps and solar components is a recent development and has great potential for improving the energy efficiency of house and hot water heating systems. As a consequence, it can enhance the energy footprint of a building substantially. This work compares different systems, analyses their performance and illustrates monitoring techniques. It helps the reader to design, simulate and assess solar and heat pump systems. Good examples of built systems are discussed in detail and advice is given on how to design the most efficient system. This book is the first one about this combination of components and presents the state of the art of this technology. It is based on a joint research project of two programmes of the International Energy Agency: the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (SHC) and the Heat Pump Programme. More than 50 experts from 13 countries have participated in this research.
Download or read book Heat Pumps for Sustainable Heating and Cooling written by Y. H. Venus Lun and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the significance of using sustainable energy to prevent the deterioration of our planet using heat pumps. Energy sustainability can be achieved through improved energy efficiency. In this regard, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative for heating and cooling. To drive the adoption of heat pumps as a key component of sustainable buildings, the authors focus on examining sustainable practices in heat pump operations and innovative system design. In view of the growing desire to use sustainable energy to meet heating and cooling demands and improve indoor air quality, this book offers a valuable reference guide to the available options in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) system design. To begin with, the authors define sustainable energy and discuss the trend of “thinking green” in building design. They then discuss sustainable practices and heat pump applications in mapping out HVAC systems. In turn, they examine the use of green operations to promote sustainable practices and, in order to highlight the importance of innovative design, discuss the configuration options and precision control aspects. In closing, the authors illustrate innovative sustainable design on the basis of several energy-efficient cases. The book’s main goal is to drive the adoption of sustainable energy solutions. Heat pumps, it argues, represent the most efficient system for meeting commercial/recreational/residential heating and cooling demands. The book not only examines industrial practices in heat pump application, but also discusses advanced heat pump technologies and innovative heat pump designs.

Download or read book Heat Pumps for Energy Efficiency and Environmental Progress written by J. Bosma and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 70 papers collected in this volume present an up to date review of the trends in heat pump technology. The heat pump is reviewed both as being part of a more comprehensive system, and as a refined device providing energy and greenhouse gas emission reductions. Its implementation in a system or process must be carefully considered at an early stage of design or development, and process integration is discussed in detail as a valuable tool for industry.The heat pump is proving to be a highly effective energy conserving tool, particularly when designed and used as an integral part of a system. Environmental benefits are gained when energy is conserved, and heat pumps can make a major contribution in this area. However, some heat pumps use working fluids which are environmentally unfriendly, and the progress that has been made in the field of alternative refrigerants is reported on. The volume will prove an indispensable reference source on the wide-ranging applications that have been developed since the last international conference, on such topics as heat pump field trials, pilot plants and development programmes.

Download or read book An Energy and Cost Analysis of Residential Ground coupled Heat Pumps in Iowa written by Joseph James Foster and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residential homes throughout the state of Iowa were used in a comprehensive study to evaluate performance, efficiency, and economics of existing vertical and horizontal GCHP systems. The objective of this study was to compare vertically-configured and horizontally-configured ground-coupled heat pumps without radiant floor heating. All homes were constructed between 1997 through 2001 and are of typical construction. The homes studied are distributed throughout the state of Iowa. It was also desired to compare heat pumps to natural gas furnaces for economics. The energy analysis predicted how much energy was required to condition the homes studied, and then estimated the coefficient of performance of each heat pump. Energy audits were performed on each home to determine physical characteristics necessary for the analysis. The utility bills for each home and actual weather data was acquired for analysis of the homes. Through the energy analysis of the heat pumps, the average (heating) coefficient of performance between vertical and horizontal configurations differed by less than 10%. Thus, it was determined that vertically and horizontal configurations of ground-coupled heat pumps operate at approximately the same efficiency. The economic analysis determined the cost to heat a home using a heat pump and a natural gas furnace. Two different electrical rates were used for the heat pumps, and one rate for the natural gas furnace. The economic analysis of winter operating cost showed significant savings of operating a ground-coupled heat pump over a natural gas furnace.
