Field performance of a 3-ton natural-gas engine-driven heating and cooling system.

Author(s) : NOWAKOWSKI G., MERTEN G., BROGAN J.

Summary

The paper discusses the field testing of a high-efficiency, natural gas, engine-driven heating and cooling system for residential and light commercial applications. A product description is provided, and the basic operating principles are discussed. Field test results are presented which confirm high seasonal operating efficiencies with heating COP ranging between 1 and 1.5 and cooling COP ranging between 0.9 and 1.1, depending on climate, application and user comfort preference. Operating costs, comfort considerations, and reliability/life considerations are also briefly addressed.
