ShareAssessment of antifreeze solutions for ground-source heat pump systems.
Author(s) : HEINONEN E. W., WILDIN M. W., BEALL A. N., TAPSCOTT R. E.
Summary
The paper assesses the risks of using six different fluids (methanol, ethanol, aqueous potassium acetate, propylene glycol, aqueous calcium magnesium acetate, and aqueous urea) as antifreezes in ground-source heat pump systems. Areas assessed included fire hazard; corrosion and leakage; health hazard; environmental; detailed heat pump system analysis, resulting in predictions of annual energy use, life-cycle cost, and power plant emissions; and regulatory risk to future use. Results are given.
