Performance of a new institutional ground-source heat pump system in Canada.

Author(s) : MINEA V.

Summary

The system consists of 35 water-air heat pumps connected to a heating transfer medium closed-loop, which in turn is linked to an horizontal underground heat exchanger. A water storage tank allows the thermal storage of internal gains (alternating with the underground heat exchanger) and heat recovery from the cooling circuit of the oil-fired backup generator. The outdoor fresh air required is first pre-heated by a solar wall and then by natural gas, if necessary. Results of the tests are given.
