Type of article: Article
Summary
EXPLAINS HOW THE HEAT PUMP CAN BE A MAJOR FACTOR IN LIMITING PRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTION WHEN THE NECESSARY WORK TO IMPROVE ITS PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED. STATES THAT CURRENT SYSTEMS TYPICALLY HAVE AN EFFICIENCY IN THE REGION OF 20%, SO THAT SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS ARE POSSIBLE USING AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY. DESCRIBES HOW DETAILED EXERGY ANALYSIS IS A GOOD MEANS OF IDENTIFYING THE THERMODYNAMIC LOSSES AS A GUIDE TO OPTIMISING SYSTEM DESIGN MAKING IT MORE COST EFFECTIVE.
