LAKE WATER APPLICATIONS OF WATER-TO-AIR HEAT PUMPS.

Author(s) : KAVANAUGH S. P., PEZENT M. C.

Summary

THE OPERATION OF WATER-TO-AIR HEAT PUMPS USING LAKE WATER AS THE HEAT SOURCE AND SINK HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED. OPERATION OF DIRECT COOLING WITH DEEP LAKE WATER HAS ALSO BEEN INVESTIGATED. DURING THE PROJECT, SEVERAL OPEN-LOOP SYSTEMS (1 CLOSED-LOOP PLASTIC COIL SYSTEM AND 1 COPPER COIL SYSTEM) WERE MONITORED. MANY THERMAL SURVEYS OF LAKES WERE LOCATED AND PERFORMED. COMPUTER CODES WERE DEVELOPED TO DETERMINE CLOSED-LOOP COIL LENGTH AND LAKE THERMAL RESPONSE TO ASSIST IN DESIGN GUIDELINE DEVELOPMENT. THE PAPER ALSO INCLUDES RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING HEAT PUMP SELECTION, PUMPING SYSTEMS, PIPING ARRANGEMENTS, AND LAKE SIZE/DEPTH CHARACTERISTICS.
