Summary

This paper presents a novel solar heat pump system operating using ice slurry as a latent storage material. The new system builds upon previous ice-based thermal storage systems through the addition of a new cooling mode using the ice tank as a cool storage reservoir. Cooling operations are split between distinct day and night modes, allowing for improved heat pump performance and potential peak load reductions. The proposed system is integrated with a detailed single family housing model in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver to investigate the potential of the system throughout Canada. Results demonstrate annual energy savings over 50% in all three regions.
