Type of article: Article

Summary

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS IN DIRECT-FIRED ENGINE DRIVEN HEAT PUMPS UTILISING VARIOUS POWER CYCLES ARE DISCUSSED IN THE CONTEXT OF DOMESTIC HEAT PUMPS. THE RANKINE CYCLE IS AT PRESENT THE MOST FAVOURED ON ACCOUNT OF RELIABILITY, EASE OF CONTROL AND LOW MAINTENANCE ASPECTS BUT DEVELOPMENTS ARE PROGRESSING IN STIRLING CYCLES AS WELL AS OTHERS. IN ABSORPTION SYSTEMS NO IDEAL WORKING PAIRS HAVE YET BEEN IDENTIFIED. STORAGE SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED, BUT THEIR MARKETABILITY DEPENDS VERY MUCH ON TARIFF STRUCTURES AND LOAD MATCHING. (INT.
