ENERGY BALANCE AND ECONOMY IN A HEAT PUMP PLANT DURING 17 YEARS OF OPERATION.

Author(s) : JOHANSEN N.

Summary

THE REFRIGERATION ENGINEERS SCHOOL HAS USED A HEAT PUMP FOR HEATING BUILDINGS FOR 17 YEARS. HEATING LOADS HAD BEEN ESTIMATED FOR A MINIMUM OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE OF 268 K (-5 DEG C). THE PLANT CALCULATED ON CONVENTIONAL BASES IS OVERDIMENSIONED, THUS REDUCING ENERGY SAVINGS AND DECREASING THE COP. DURING THE 17 YEAR OPERATION, THE HEAT PUMP BROUGHT ABOUT COSTS 25% HIGHER THAN THOSE OF OIL HEATING. WITH 1981 PRICES, THE COSTS WITH THE HEAT PUMP MUST HAVE BEEN 30% LOWER THAN THOSE OF OIL HEATING.
