Summary

USING THE COMPUTER PROGRAM, DOE 2.1A, THE HOURLY AND RESULTING SEASONAL COP OF FOUR RESIDENTIAL HEAT PUMPS WERE SIMULATED FOR A TYPICAL HOUSE IN ONE CITY IN EACH OF THE FOUR MAJOR CLIMATE ZONES IN THE US. FOR COMPARISON, A CONVENTIONAL GAS FURNACE AND AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM WERE ALSO ANALYSED. SHOWS THAT HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS COULD BE DEVELOPED WITH SEASONAL THERMODYNAMIC EFFICIENCIES OF OVER 200% IN RESOURCE ENERGY. IN ADDITION, SIZING THE HEAT PUMPS ACCORDING TO A BUILDING'S THERMAL INTEGRITY AND OPERATING CONDITIONS MAXIMISES SEASONAL EFFICIENCIES. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 19, N.1, 1984, 6, 84-00047.
