Energy comparison of a ground source heat pump using hydrocarbon refrigerant.
Author(s) : COX N.
Summary
The purpose of this paper is to show that the benefits of ground source heat pumps can only be optimised through the very careful design of all the components including the refrigerant selection. This paper describes an innovative scheme whereby a ground source heat pump draws heat from a nearby field to heat a school. The heat pump system replaces electric night storage heaters, which were noisy, bulky and difficult to control, particularly during the spring and autumn. The suitability of this installation was assessed through cost analysis and energy measurements of the old and new system.
