SOLAR HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS WITH REFRIGERANT FILLED COLLECTORS.

Author(s) : O'DELL M. P., MITCHELL J. W., BECKMAN W. A.

Summary

THE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A AIR-TO-AIR OR AIR-TO-LIQUID HEAT PUMP THAT UTILIZES A SOLAR PANEL AS THE EVAPORATOR. IN THIS PAPER, THE SEASONAL PERFORMANCE OF SUCH SYSTEMS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS ARE PRESENTED AND COMPARED WITH ALTERNATIVE HEAT PUMP AND SOLAR SYSTEMS. THE BENEFITS OF COVERED AND COVERLESS COLLECTOR/EVAPORATORS WILL BE DISCUSSED. RESULTS HAVE SHOWN THAT HEAT PUMPS DO NOT PERFORM AS WELL AS CONVENTIONAL HEAT PUMPS AT SMALL COLLECTOR AREAS BUT HAVE AS MUCH AS 15% PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT OVER CONVENTIONAL HEAT PUMPS AT AN APPROPRIATE COLLECTOR AREA.
