Dynamic Simulation System of Air Source Heat Pump System Based on Building Hourly Load

Determining the optimal size of a ground source heat pump within an air-conditioning system with economic and emission considerations

One of the most challenging issues in modern-day building energy management involves equipping the buildings with more energy efficient facilities. In this paper, a hybrid system for cooling/heating for a residential building is developed and optimized. The system consists of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) as well as an electric chiller (EC) and boiler. The model is implemented in MATLAB ...

Performance Assessment of a Variable Capacity Air Source Heat Pump and a Horizontal Loop Coupled Ground Source Heat Pump System

This study evaluates the performance of air source heat pump (ASHP) and ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems individually and as part of their associated heating and cooling distribution systems in two semi-attached houses. Over the monitoring period, the performance of both heat pumps exceeded manufacturer and EnerGuide ratings, with Coefficients of Performance (COPs) above 5 in the cooling ...

Study on the System Design of a Solar Assisted Ground Heat Pump System Using Dynamic Simulation

Recently, the use of hybrid systems using multiple heat sources in buildings to ensure a stable energy supply and improve the system performance has gained attention. Among them, a heat pump system using both solar and ground heat was developed and various system configurations have been introduced. However, establishing a suitable design method for the solar-assisted ground heat pump (SAGHP) s...

Air Source Heat Pump for Northern Climates Part I: Simulation of Different Heat Pump Cycles

Fully Fresh Air Air-conditioning System Equipped with Double Heat Pipe Based Heat Recovery Technology

The using of double heat pipe based heat exchanger (HPHX) in a conventional fully fresh air air-conditioning (AC) system was examined in the present study. The fabricated HPHXs were tested under the actual conditions and the measured data were used to study the performance of the existing AC system (System A) and AC system equipped with the double HPHX (System B) for a yearly operation through ...
