Summary

DESCRIBES THE RESULTS OF AN ECONOMIC AND ENGINEERING ANALYSIS OF ELECTRIC AND DIESEL ENGINE HEAT PUMPS. COMPARES THE TWO HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS WITH BOILERS BURNING OIL OR WOOD CHIPS TO SUPPLY HEAT TO SMALL HOUSING ESTATES. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT CURRENTLY THE ELECTRIC HEAT PUMPS ARE THE MOST ECONOMICAL, UNLESS WOOD CHIPS ARE LOCALLY AVAILABLE, WHEN THE WOOD-FIRED BOILER TAKES FIRST PLACE. LARGE, INDIRECTLY HEATED DISTRICT HEATING NETWORKS ARE ECONOMICALLY MORE FAVOURABLE THAN SMALLER NETWORKS DESPITE THEIR HIGHER SUPPLY AND RETURN TEMPERATURES. WITH AN INCREASE IN THE CURRENT PRICE RELATION OF ELECTRICITY TO OIL OF 1 TO 2, THE DIESEL ENGINE HEAT PUMP WILL BE THE MOST ECONOMICAL SOLUTION. (INT. BUILD. SERV.
