RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN RESIDENTIAL HEAT PUMP TECHNOLOGY.

Author(s) : BULLOCK C. E.

Summary

THE STEADY INCREASE IN PRODUCT EFFICIENCY COUPLED WITH THE INCREASING DEMANDS FOR THE EQUIPMENT CLEARLY SHOWS THE CONSUMER'S GROWING CONFIDENCE IN THE HEAT PUMP. THE EFFICIENCY INCREASES HAVE COME ABOUT THROUGH PROGRESS IN THE DESIGN OF ALL OF THE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. THE RECENT INTRODUCTION OF VARIABLE-SPEED COMPRESSORS AND FANS HAS OPENED UP MANY NEW OPPORTUNITIES. THE INTEGRATION OF DOMESTIC WATER HEATING INTO HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS PROMISES TO SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THE TOTAL COST.
