Summary

METHOD FOR OPTIMISING THE COMBINATION OF A HEAT PUMP AND AN ADDITIONAL HEATING RESISTANCE IN ORDER TO MINIMISE THE INVESTMENT COST OF SPACE HEATING. OPTIMISING METHOD AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE CASE OF HEATING BY A HEAT PUMP OF A SMALL FACTORY OPERATING WITH THREE DIFFERENT SCHEDULES OR CONTINUOUSLY. THE RESULTS OF SIMULATION SHOWING THAT THE OPTIMUM CAPACITY OF THE HEAT PUMP DEPENDS ESSENTIALLY ON OPERATING TIME AND THAT THE OPTIMUM OVERDIMENSIONING OF THE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM APPEARS, ECONOMICALLY, TO BE LESS IMPORTANT FOR THE OPERATING COST THAN WITH CONVENTIONAL HEATING SYSTEMS.
