A MULTIPLE (SOLAR, AIR AND WATER) SOURCE HEAT PUMP FOR COLD CLIMATES.

Author(s) : KRAKOW K. I., LIN S.

Summary

A MULTIPLE-SOURCE HEAT PUMP FOR HEATING IN COLD CLIMATES HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED. IT HAD FOUR MODES OF OPERATION: TWO SOLAR-SOURCE MODES, AN AMBIENT-AIR-SOURCE MODE, AND A STORAGE-SOURCE MODE. SOLAR COLLECTORS COOLED BY R12 SERVED AS THE EVAPORATOR. THE SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTED WAS USED TO HEAT SPACE AIR OR WATER STORAGE IF HEATING WAS NOT REQUIRED. DURING PERIODS OF LOW SOLAR RADIATION AND AT NIGHT, AMBIENT AIR WAS CIRCULATED THROUGH THE COLLECTORS, WHICH SERVED AS THE EVAPORATOR TO EXTRACT HEAT FROM THE AMBIENT AIR.
