Summary

COMPUTER SIMULATIONS BASED ON MEASURED COMPONENT CHARACTERISTICS AND SITE WIND DATA PREDICT THE PERFORMANCE OF A WIND-ASSISTED HEAT PUMP FOR A DAIRY. A VERTICAL AXIS CYCLOTURBINE IS MECHANICALLY CONNECTED TO A 3 CYLINDER COMPRESSOR WITH EXTERNAL CYLINDER LOADING/UNLOADING CAPABILITY. SYSTEM SIMULATION RESULTS SHOW A 41.6% REDUCTION IN THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL ENERGY USED FOR DOMESTIC HEATING, WATER HEATING AND MILK COOLING. HOWEVER A MAJOR PORTION OF THIS REDUCTION WAS CONTRIBUTED BY THE HEAT PUMP SINCE THE WIND TURBINE ONLY PROVIDED AN EQUIVALENT OF 7.1% OF THE TOTAL ENERGY USED TO DRIVE THE COMPRESSOR ON THE HEAT PUMP.
