Summary

In existing houses equipped with hydronic networks and radiators, the supply water temperature can exceed 65°C the coldest days to ensure required comfort conditions. So to replace old boilers by heat pumps, it is necessary that the heat pumps produce water at high temperature the coldest days. In order to analyze their behavior and measure their performances, field-test has been carried out in France on air to water heat pump designed to replace fuel boilers. The results of the field-test has allowed expressing the thermal energy produced and the electrical energy consumed by the heat pump as a function of the average daily outdoor air temperature. So it is possible with weather data of different climate areas to calculate the thermal and electrical energies and so estimate the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor.
