Summary

THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY OF STAND-ALONE HEAT PUMPS FOR SPACE HEATING IS LIMITED BY THE ACHIEVABLE COP. BY COMBINING THE HEAT PUMP WITH A PLATE RECUPERATOR IN FULL FRESH AIR SYSTEMS THE AVERAGE HEATING SEASON EFFICIENCY CAN BE INCREASED TO THE EQUIVALENT OF A COP OF 6. THE SYSTEM WORKS BOTH AS A HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM AND WILL PROVIDE OVER 90% OF ANNUAL ENERGY REQUIREMENT, MAKING THE USE OF CENTRAL HEATING PLANT FOR BACK-UP HEATING UNECONOMICAL. THE RESULTING CAPITAL COST SAVING CAN BE USED TO OFFSET IN PART OR IN FULL THE EXTRA CAPITAL COST OF THE HEAT PUMP EQUIPMENT.
