Summary

THIS REPORT DESCRIBES THE RESULTS OF A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF HOW THE EFFICIENCY OF A BOILER PLANT COULD BE IMPROVED USING HEAT PUMPS WHICH ARE ASSUMED TO BE DRIVEN BY DIESEL ENGINES OR ELECTRICITY, AND THE HEAT SOURCE TO BE AIR OR WATER. THERE IS A LAKE NOT FAR FROM THE BOILER PLANT. DURING THE WINTER, HEAT WOULD BE ABSTRACTED BY FREEZING THE WATER ON THE HEAT PUMP EVAPORATOR. HEAT PUMP CONDENSER POWER RATINGS HAVE BEEN CALCULATED FOR THREE OR SIX LARGE DIESEL-DRIVEN HEAT PUMPS, AND FOR THE SAME NUMBER OF ELECTRICALLY-DRIVEN HEAT PUMPS. THE MAXIMUM SHAFT OUTPUT POWER IS ABOUT 150 KW PER PRIME MOVER. THE MOST FAVOURABLE COMBINATION WAS FOUND TO BE THE SMALLER NUMBER OF HEAT PUMPS, ELECTRICALLY-DRIVEN, AND TO USE WATER AS THE HEAT SOURCE WITH THE HEAT PUMP BUILDING SITED CLOSE TO THE LAKE. (SYNOP.
