A Solar-Assisted Heat Pump in Use
In this paper on work which forms part of the programmes by the International Energy Agency, the authors discuss results in service of a solar-assisted ground-coupled heat pump in a house in central Switzerland north of the Alps. The solar collectors are of the unglazed low-temperature type. The system was found to work reasonably well in the local climate, although storage losses and the parasitic electrical power of the auxiliary equipment could usefully be reduced. Measured seasonal coefficient of performance, including the power losses, worked out at 2.4. Preliminary results from other systems are briefly mentioned for comparison, but no comparison with theory or economic analysis is made for the system. However, there are important inferences to be drawn on the climatic dependence of the configuration of such systems and on sensitive factors which must be considered at design. The authors work in the heat technology division of the Swiss Federal Institute for Reactor Research (EIR).
