ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF WIND CONVECTORS AS HEAT PUMP EVAPORATORS.

Author(s) : MONAGHAN P. F., FINN D. P.

Summary

THE PAPER SHOWS THAT, IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, WIND CONVECTORS HAVE ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONAL, FAN-ASSISTED HEAT PUMP EVAPORATORS. THIS ASSESS-MENT COMPARES WIND CONVECTORS WITH CONVENTIONAL FIN-TUBE EVAPORATORS FROM ENERGY, MAINTENANCE, CAPITAL COST AND OTHER VIEWPOINTS. COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL FAN-ASSISTED HEAT PUMP EVAPORATORS, WIND CONVECTOR TECHNOLOGY IS ESTIMATED TO PROVIDE ENERGY SAVINGS BETWEEN 10 AND 20%, MAINTENANCE SAVINGS OF APPROXIMATELY 50% AND A REDUCTION OF HEAT PUMP CAPITAL COSTS OF APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15%.
