Summary

This article attempts to investigate the energy performance of CO2 (R744) hybrid ground-coupled heat pumping system for the cooling and heating application in hotels. The developed heat pumping system, employing a reverse transcritical CO2 cycle, utilises a heat sink combination of tap water and ground in cooling mode, while only the ground is utilized as the heat source in heating mode. When the heat pump operates in cooling mode, part of heat on the high pressure side could be recovered for heating the tap water to 65°C for the hotel hot water supply. The separated gas coolers also enable simultaneous space heating and hot water supply in the heating mode. This CO2 hybrid ground coupled heat pump system is modelled in the Modelica/ Dymola environment, and several types of control strategies according to the hotel heat load demands are suggested for the energy performance investigation. Simulation result shows the COPcooling&SHW, which could reach 4.8, is superior comparing with other cooling and heating system, and the optimal high side pressure for different control strategy is acquired according to the optimal energy performance.
