Author(s) : WOLKERSTORFER G., JAEGHER P. de

Type of article: Article

Summary

A CRITICAL FACTOR IN EVALUATING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE DRIVEN HEAT PUMPS (ICE-HP) IS THE AMOUNT OF PRIMARY ENERGY SAVED AND THE RATIO OF USABLE HEAT OUTPUT TO PRIMARY ENERGY INPUT (SEASONAL PERFORMANCE FACTOR). WHEN EVALUATING THE EFFICIENCY OF HEAT PUMPS, FINANCIAL SAVINGS ARE OF PARTICULAR INTEREST. VARIOUS USERS WERE SURVEYED TO FIND OUT WHAT THEIR INVESTMENT COSTS HAD BEEN AND WHAT THEIR CURRENT ANNUAL SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE COSTS WERE. THE ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF ICE-HPS IS DESCRIBED ON THE BASIS OF THE HEAT GENERATING COSTS.
