Opportunities for combined heating and cooling.

Author(s) : PEARSON A.

Summary

The concept of heat pumps was first suggested over 150 years ago, and heat recovery from industrial systems and chillers for air-conditioning or process cooling has been used occasionally. However the significant opportunities to combine requirements for heating and cooling have not been exploited to anything like their full potential so far. This paper explains some of the metrics used to assess these systems, including discussion of the shortcomings of the existing methods, and proposes adoption of a common approach to system assessment. The paper then explores some of the opportunities for combined heating and cooling and addresses some of the barriers to adoption of this technology.
