Summary

Several heat pump projects were developed during the 1980s. These mainly used gas engine compression heat pumps. Except with some problems with maintenance these heat pumps functioned very well. However, since the energy tariffs did not increase as much as expected, the economic performance was poor. Nowadays, technology has changed. Cheaper and more reliable heat pumps are available and the possibilities for using ground water from aquifers as a long-term energy storage system have been further developed. The results are described in this article.
