Author(s) : GILLES T. C.

Summary

THE AUTHOR DRAWS THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS: THE IMPROVED EFFICIENCY OF ELECTRIC HEAT PUMPS WILL INFLUENCE MARKET ACCEPTANCE. TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS IN THE PAST 3 YEARS HAS BEEN IMPRESSIVE WITH INTRODUCTION OF SCROLL COMPRESSORS, TRIPLE INTEGRATED COMBINATION UNITS AND IMPROVED GROUND-COUPLED INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES. PROGRESS CONTINUES TOWARD THE INTRODUCTION OF GAS-POWERED HEAT PUMPS, BUT AT A PACE DISAPPOINTINGLY SLOW FOR THE GAS UTILITIES.
